Required Technical Expertise:

Generative AI (Expert Level)

Model Routing & Orchestration
• Design and implement intelligent model routing logic using ML-based classification to direct requests to appropriate LLMs based on conversational context, task complexity, and performance requirements
• Build and maintain orchestration layers (e.g., using AWS Bedrock, LangChain, or custom frameworks) to manage multi-model workflows
• Train, evaluate, and iterate on classification models that drive routing decisions using evaluation frameworks and feedback loops

Conversation Contextualization
• Architect and implement conversation context analysis systems that extract intent signals and contextual features from multi-turn interactions to inform routing decisions
• Design context retrieval and embedding strategies to analyze conversational history and accurately interpret user intent across multi-turn interactions
• Develop prompt engineering standards and context window management techniques to support accurate intent classification and routing across production use cases

Enterprise Platform Engineering
• Architect Gen AI solutions that scale to enterprise workloads — including high-availability design, performance optimization, and cost management
• Apply Gen AI platform best practices: observability, model evaluation, guardrails, responsible AI controls, and versioning
• Design and maintain data extraction and transformation pipelines to support model training, evaluation, and integration with enterprise applications

Delivery & Collaboration
• Participate fully in Agile/Scrum ceremonies: sprint planning, daily standups, retrospectives, and sprint reviews
• Collaborate with the Engagement Manager to track progress, surface risks, and ensure delivery aligns with contractual commitments
• Produce clear technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and handoff artifacts consistent with ProServe delivery standards
• Engage directly with customer stakeholders and technical counterparts to gather requirements and validate solutions
