• Focus heavily on AI / GenAI solutions, including LLM-based applications
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate ideas into working prototypes
• Hand off validated solutions to downstream engineering teams (dev, UAT, production)
• Rapidly experiment, iterate, and validate ideas in a lab-style environment

• Strong Python development experience
• Hands-on experience building LLM-based applications
• Familiarity with Lang Chain
• Experience generating and accelerating development using AI tools (e.g., Claude)
• Cloud experience
  -they are primarily in GCP/Azure so those are preferred
• Proven ability to build fast, functional prototypes
