• Design secure "tool-calling" architectures, allowing LLMs to interact with internal databases, CRMs, and APIs safely.
• Implement LLMOps/AgentOps best practices
• Mitigate AI-specific security risks, such as prompt injection, hallucination loops, and unauthorized tool execution.
• Demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through continuous development, modeling inclusive behaviors, and proactively managing bias.
• All other duties as assigned.
