3. Integrate AI-powered capabilities into applications using RAG, OpenAI APIs, and other modern tools.
4. Oversee technical planning, estimations, and sprint execution, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery.
5. Guide the implementation of robust database solutions using SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or other relational databases.
6. Champion best practices in engineering: clean code, automated testing, CI/CD, cloud deployments (preferably Azure).
7. Act as a mentor and coach for team members, supporting their technical growth and development.
8. Collaborate with Product, Data, and DevOps teams to ensure alignment between business needs and technical execution.
9. Contribute to defining and evolving the system architecture and technology roadmap.

7. Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
8. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.
Nice to Have
1. Familiarity with vector databases, RAG pipelines, or semantic search solutions.
2. Experience building and deploying applications using Azure AI Services, Azure Search, or Azure OpenAI.
