  • Experiment continuously with the latest AI models, tools, frameworks, and agentic AI approaches to identify innovation opportunities.
  • Design and develop AI-native workflows, agents, or applications that can operate reliably in enterprise environments.
  • Partner with AI engineers, solution architects, and platform teams to ensure smooth transition from experimentation to production deployment.
  • Apply software engineering best practices (e.g. modular design, testing, monitoring) to productionise AI solutions.
  • Act as an internal AI-first advocate by demonstrating working solutions that influence adoption and mindset change across teams.
  • Document technical designs, learnings, and production considerations to support reuse, scaling, and continuous improvement.

 

Skills for Success:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data, Math, AI/ML, or related field.
  • Hands-on experience building AI solutions that progressed from prototype to usable or production systems.
  • Strong AI-first and AI-native engineering mindset.

  • Practical experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and experimentation.
  • Ability to productionise AI solutions with attention to reliability and maintainability.
  • Builder mindset with end-to-end ownership from idea to production.
