- 3. Rapid Prototyping and Value Validation

- Integration, Adoption, and Scale
- Integrate with enterprise platforms, data systems, workflows, collaboration tools, and third-party APIs.
- Document architectures, implementation playbooks, reusable components, and customer-specific solution guides.
- Feed field learnings into product roadmap, accelerators, and go-to-market propositions.
Required Skills and Experience
- 4 8 years of experience in AI led engineering, implementation, product, consulting, or customer-facing technology roles.
- Strong engineering fundamentals with hands-on coding experience in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, .NET/C#, or Go.
- AI proficiency is mandatory; candidates may come from software engineering, data science, UX, or related domains with proven hands on experience.
- Daily AI tool usage, demonstrable code contributions, and documented token usage.
- Strong analytical thinking and expertise in effectively utilizing data to derive AI solutions to solve business problems.
- Strong understanding of APIs, databases, cloud services, authentication, integrations, and deployment.
- Experience in Data and analytics platforms.
- Comfortable with structured and unstructured data.
- Experience with GenAI, LLMs, RAG, agents, AI workflow automation, prompt engineering, model integration and model training.
- Cloud experience across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
- Good communication, adaptability, and problem-solving in ambiguous environments.
Good to Have
- Knowledge of ML algorithms, model building, deployment, deep learning, and NLP.
- Experience integrating with Salesforce, Jira, Rally, Oracle, ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics or similar platforms.
- Familiarity with data engineering, ETL/ELT pipelines, BI dashboards, analytics, and reporting workflows.
- Healthcare exposure, especially contact centers, claims automation, finance, or technology services.
