  • 5+ years of proven experience applying AI / ML or GenAI solutions to Develop / QE / DevOps workflows.
  • 5+ years of experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and AI / ML toolkits (LangChain, LlamaIndex, HuggingFace, OpenAI APIs, etc.).
  • 8-12 years of experience / knowledge of observability tools (Dynatrace, Datadog, Splunk, Grafana, etc.) and CI / CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps).
  • Nimble skillset and flexible with regards to changing priorities & business need
  • Demonstrated ability to develop strong alliances with those outside of your immediate organization
  • Prior experience in managing globally distributed high performing teams
  • Strong interviewing skills and mentoring others contributing to their career growth
