• Designing and delivering enterprise-scale AI solutions from concept through to production
• Working extensively with Azure AI services and cloud-native technologies
• Integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into existing and new applications
• Designing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions and intelligent knowledge systems
• stablishing best practice around AI governance, security and scalability

Experience required
