- Build high-performance data pipelines, vector search, and hybrid RAG layers over Databricks/Delta Lake environments
- Lead on-site requirements discovery and rapidly prototype production PoCs with client technical teams
- Implement LLM evaluation frameworks, hallucination tracking, and observability pipelines for agent reliability
- Enforce security controls including ACLs, multi-tenant isolation, and row/column-level permissions with client security teams
- Translate operational workflows and fragmented data sources into production-grade agentic AI platforms
What they're looking for
- Multi-agent AI systems and orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI)
- Databricks, PySpark, Delta Lake, and lakehouse architecture
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) and structured function calling design
