• Proficient with engineering workflow tools such as Git/BitBucket, Jira, ServiceNow, and pre-commit hooks.
• Strong programming skills in Python and Java, including experience with distributed data processing.
• Leverage enterprise-authorized AI coding assistant tools to improve code quality and delivery speed (e.g., code generation/refactoring, unit tests, documentation), while validating outputs via peer review, automated testing, and secure coding standards; contribute reusable patterns and learnings to improve team effectiveness.

 

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills

• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP).
• Exposure to large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Google Bard (or similar).
• Exposure to LLM application patterns and tooling, including LangChain, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and fine-tuning.
