- Develop automated dashboards, alerts, SLOs, runbooks, and operational views to drive rapid incident diagnosis, performance optimization, and economic sustainability.
- Innovate continuously by defining measurable signals for response quality, groundedness, guardrail outcomes, and task completion across AI systems.

- Hands-on experience instrumenting AI/ML or GenAI systems, including model invocation, prompts, retrieval, tool use, and evaluation.
- Proficiency with Amazon Bedrock or similar platforms to track model usage, latency, throttling, token metrics, and cost attribution.
- Familiarity with agentic workflows, prompt engineering, vector databases (e.g., Neptune), RAG architectures, and frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or SageMaker.
- Proficiency in Java, Python, or Go.
- Strong AWS expertise, with an understanding of cloud networking, IAM, security, and service quotas.
