• Use AI tooling to accelerate your own development process, supervising AI's architectural choices and debugging where it falls short
• Evolve successful prototypes into durable production systems with comprehensive error handling, logging, retry logic, and monitoring
• Research and propose solutions that handle sensitive and business-critical data with appropriate security controls (PII handling, SOC2 awareness, HIPAA considerations, human-in-the-loop safeguards)
• Optimize for cost, latency, and token efficiency across LLM-powered workflows
• Design resilient systems with comprehensive monitoring and alerting that contribute to overall automation governance
• Communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, building alignment and driving informed decision-making
