● Integrate LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT-4o, AWS Bedrock, Google

Gemini) into backend services and user-facing products

● Design and implement RAG pipelines: document ingestion, chunking strategy,

vector store selection, retrieval tuning

● Build agentic workflows using frameworks such as AgentCore, LangChain,

LlamaIndex, or custom orchestration patterns

● Manage prompt engineering, prompt versioning, and prompt evaluation

frameworks

● Implement guardrails for LLM outputs: validation, content filtering, fallback logic

● Monitor AI system performance: latency, cost-per-query, accuracy drift, token

usage

● Collaborate with frontend engineers to surface AI capabilities in product UIs

● Own the AI integration layer in the SDLC, from spec to CI/CD to production
