Design and develop production-ready AI solutions, including machine learning models, generative AI applications, retrieval-augmented generation workflows, intelligent agents, APIs, and reusable software components using modern development frameworks and cloud services. Experience with Azure AI services or comparable cloud AI platforms, containerization and orchestration, infrastructure automation, data pipelines, and federal security and compliance frameworks; familiarity with responsible AI, explainability, bias assessment, human-in-the-loop review, and model risk management is strongly preferred.
