 Position Intel:
 
 This is part of a new team built out to oversee the internal LLM and AI platforms. This person will be part of a four person AI group however they will be working with many other technical teams and no technical stakeholders across the organization. This person will be responsible for building the agentic workflow systems. Someone who is more of a developer background such as Python/Node would be ideal. Also someone who is in a machine learning function but wants to get away from the training and more into business logic side would be a fit as well. This person will be writing code to do orchestration, integrate business logic, and more complex tasks than a typical model training/tuning. Looking for this person to be involved with applied data science, n8n, understanding agentic workflow patterns, MCP tools, integrations, RAG implementation, and Python. An example would be creating the chat bot to query data sources, this can be in low code/no code but must have worked with code. Because this is a new division for the organization someone proven in the AI world will be a valuable asset. There is already a roadmap in place however this person will also be looked at to make suggestions, improvements, and champion future initiatives. If someone would like to be a true lead/manager of others this position allows for individual contributor but also formal lead structure. This is all on a Nvidia backed infrastructure.
