Key Responsibilities
End to End Solution Design & Development
Translate business and operational requirements into architecture, user stories, and technical designs for Dark NOC features.
Build full stack AI capabilities: model integration (LLMs/NLP), orchestration logic, APIs/services, and workflow automation.
Implement RAG pipelines (data ingestion, chunking, embeddings, vector search) and tool/function calling for autonomous actions.
Model Integration & Prompt Engineering
Integrate LLMs/NLU/ASR/TTS providers with robust adapters, retries, timeouts, and fallbacks.
Design and maintain prompts, system policies, and tool schemas; evaluate and refine prompts for accuracy and reliability.
Implement guardrails (policy enforcement, PII masking, safety filters) and quality evaluation (e.g., RAG ground truth checks).
Data Engineering for Dark NOC
Build data ingestion & transformation for logs, alerts, tickets, and knowledge bases.
Maintain feature/knowledge freshness SLAs and data contracts with upstream systems.
Integration with New Relic, Service Now, Email, chat, REST API for end-to-end automation.
Testing, Quality & Evaluations
Implement unit/integration/e2e tests, plus AI evaluations (groundedness, hallucination, toxicity).
Create offline and shadow/A B evaluations for prompts, models, and RAG changes before production rollout.
Define acceptance criteria with the Project Manager; maintain a robust regression suite.
CI/CD & Operations Ready Builds
Set up CI/CD pipelines with canary/blue green releases, automated rollbacks, and migration/versioning for prompts, models, and indexes.
Containerize services (Docker) and deploy to Kubernetes with observability hooks and resource limits.
Produce runbooks and operational toggles (feature flags, kill switches, fallback modes).
Collaboration & Delivery Management
Work closely with the Project Manager on scope, estimations, milestones, and risk tracking.
Partner with platform, infra, and data teams to unblock dependencies and align environments and SLAs.
Provide clear documentation (designs, APIs, runbooks, evaluation results) and demo increments to stakeholders.
Production Support (L3 Level)
Support pre prod validations and production rollouts; analyze incidents with traces/logs and drive code fixes.
Own RCA for code/config issues and convert findings into tests, guardrails, and automation.
Preferred Trainings/Certifications
Certification - Generative AI with Large Language Models or LLMOps
Certified in C# (.NET) or Python
Certification or deep knowledge of SDLC, Agile, or Kubernetes
