Build evaluation and observability tooling for LLM outputs – golden dataset benchmarks, A/B content quality metrics and drift detection
Develop template and component systems that allow marketers to assemble compliant content from pre-approved building blocks across channels
Write well-tested, production-ready code and participate in CI/CD pipeline development, including model evaluation pipeline
Lead the design of end-to-end content generation features
