- Develop production‑grade Python applications using modern LLM technologies, including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows and evaluation frameworks
- Own delivery from initial scoping through deployment, iteration and ongoing maintenance

- Ensure solutions are robust, well‑tested and trusted in high‑stakes investment decision‑making environments
Who You Are:
