  • Implement observability, logging, and debugging mechanisms for AI-assisted systems
  • Participate in evaluation and iteration of prompts, workflows, and control logic
  • Collaborate closely with security practitioners to ensure outputs are actionable and operationally relevant
  • Contribute to engineering standards around safety, reliability, and change management

Required Qualifications
