    • Integrate agents into applications, APIs, or workflows (e.g., chatbots, copilots, automation tools)
    • Collaborate with researchers, engineers, and product teams to iterate on AI capabilities
    • Optimize AI behaviour and results through feedback loops, reinforcement learning, or user interaction
    • Maintain thorough documentation of logic, design decisions, and dependencies

    Requirements

    • BSc or MSc in Computer Science, AI/Machine Learning, CyberSecurity, or a related field
    • 3+ years of experience building enterprise software applications
    • Strong programming skills in Python (or similar) and experience with AI/ML libraries (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI API, Hugging Face, PyTorch)
    • Knowledge of application security principles and best practices
    • Understanding of agent-based modeling, multi‑agent systems, or reinforcement learning
    • Experience building applications with LLMs or generative AI models
    • Familiarity with API development, backend services and deployment pipelines
