• Develop intuitive, user-facing tools and APIs that make AI capabilities accessible and easy to use.
• Stay across the latest AI trends, models, and tools, and bring innovative ideas into solution design.
• Advocate for the adoption of AI across Datacom by presenting solutions, conducting workshops, and producing clear documentation.

• Contribute to establishing best practices, frameworks, and reusable components for AI development at Datacom.
• Work closely with customers to understand their needs and tailor AI solutions that solve real-world business challenges.
• Help shape Datacom’s AI strategy by participating in internal communities of practice and external thought leadership initiatives.

• Applied AI knowledge: Hands-on experience working with foundational models, vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), basic fine-tuning, and prompt chaining techniques.

Experience:

• Proven track record of delivering AI-powered features and systems - not just experimenting, but building solutions that are used in production.
• Strong understanding of the engineering challenges involved in deploying AI at scale, including managing latency, handling token limits, and monitoring model performance (e.g., hallucinations).
• Ideally experienced with Machine Learning Operations (MLOps), evaluation pipelines, and integrating AI capabilities into broader product development workflows.
• Familiarity with industry-standard tools and frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGPT, local models, and other leading open-source AI projects.
