• Excellent communication skills and a focus on reliability and scale.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain JSON / Pydantic tool schemas for OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar function-calling models.
• Build and document internal APIs that connect the LLM layer to data and business logic.
• Partner with data and infrastructure teams to ensure reliable authentication, rate-limiting, and observability.
• Implement error handling, versioning, and monitoring for all active tools.
• Collaborate with the Prompt Architect to align tools with business logic and prompt capabilities.
