Must Have Skills

  • Experience building and shipping enterprise-grade GenAI products, particularly RAG-based assistants or enterprise knowledge assistants.
  • Strong understanding of the end-to-end RAG lifecycle, including data ingestion, document parsing, chunking, metadata enrichment, embeddings, indexing, retrieval, grounding, citations, and response synthesis.
  • Ability to partner with engineering teams on retrieval tuning, hybrid search, re-ranking, query understanding, prompt structure, grounding, hallucination control, and answer-quality tradeoffs.
  • Experience defining requirements, acceptance criteria, release scope, quality bars, and product validation processes for technically complex products.
  • Strong execution and delivery management skills, with the ability to drive a defined roadmap across multiple technical teams and dependencies.
  • Experience owning product testing and business validation before release, including scenario coverage, regression checks, readiness signoff, and definition of done.
  • Understanding of guardrails and responsible AI for enterprise assistants, including content safety, PII handling, topic boundaries, confidence signaling, access control, and audit trails.
  • Understanding of observability and monitoring for LLM products, including trace-level visibility, query lifecycle analysis, latency, token usage, drift, alerting, rollback, and user feedback instrumentation.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills across business users, end-user teams, engineering, platform, security, and leadership.
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain AI quality, trust, retrieval issues, and guardrails in business-friendly language.

Nice To Have Skills

  • Familiarity with cloud-based GenAI architecture, including managed LLM services, vector/search indexes, object storage, workflow orchestration, serverless compute, containerized services, and enterprise integration patterns.
  • Working knowledge of LLM capabilities and limitations, model tradeoffs, prompt architecture, and prompt vulnerabilities such as injection and jailbreak risks.
  • Exposure to agentic AI concepts, including tool use, function calling, multi-step reasoning, planning, human-in-the-loop approvals, and safe autonomous execution.
  • Experience running UAT, gathering nuanced user feedback, and converting findings into measurable product improvements.
  • Experience supporting rollout of agentic automation use cases for lower-complexity workflows with appropriate safety controls, approval flows, and auditability.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end product execution across knowledge ingestion, retrieval quality, grounded answer generation, enterprise chat experience, guardrails, observability, and agentic use case rollout.
  • Work closely with end users to understand pain points, validate use cases, and ensure the product improves productivity and trust.
  • Partner with engineering teams to clarify requirements, resolve functional gaps, and drive delivery against defined milestones.
  • Own product testing and business validation before each release, including scenario coverage, acceptance criteria validation, regression checks, and readiness signoff.
  • Partner with technical teams to improve RAG pipeline quality, including ingestion readiness, chunking and indexing implications, retrieval tuning, grounding, citation behavior, and answer quality.
  • Define and own the evaluation framework, including metrics for retrieval relevance, answer correctness, faithfulness, hallucination rate, citation accuracy, fallback handling, and latency.
  • Ensure each test run is measured against established baselines and quality expectations.
  • Maintain product-level feedback loops using golden datasets, user feedback, UAT findings, and post-release learning.
  • Drive observability requirements to monitor end-to-end query behavior, retrieval outcomes, response quality, latency, errors, drift, and user feedback signals.
  • Participate in product decisions related to cloud-based GenAI architecture, including ingestion pipeline optimization and model usage / cost-quality balance.
  • Support rollout of agentic automation use cases while ensuring safety controls, approval flows, and auditability are in place.
