The ideal candidate combines a strong software and cloud infrastructure foundation with hands-on experience with large language models (LLMs), generative AI, and modern AI application architectures. This person will also serve as an internal advocate for AI adoption, helping technical and non-technical users understand and effectively utilize new AI-powered tools.
