• Establish monitoring, alerting, and observability; troubleshoot infra and pipeline issues to restore service quickly.
• Drive security-by-design and compliance adherence, partnering with security and documenting architectures/runbooks.
• Develop and optimise RAG solutions: document ingestion, chunking strategies, embedding workflows, vector search, reranking, and citation/traceability.
• Implement evaluation and testing for AI systems: offline test sets, regression suites, adversarial testing (prompt injection/jailbreak), and quality metrics.
• Establish MLOps/LLMOps practices: CI/CD for AI components, versioning (prompts/models/data), automated checks, and controlled releases (canary/rollback).

• Experience with modern deployment practices: containers (Docker), CI/CD, and cloud-native services. Experience with vector search technologies (e.g., OpenSearch/Elastic, pgvector, FAISS, Pinecone) and embedding/reranking techniques. Familiarity with LLM frameworks/patterns (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex) and prompt versioning/evaluation tooling.
