What does this work involve?

AI engineers build software that uses artificial intelligence to solve practical problems. Generative AI engineers work with models that create text, images or other content, while AI/ML roles may also involve training and running machine-learning models. Teams need people who can test how these systems behave and decide when a person should remain in control. Specialist work includes RAG, LLM applications, Agentic AI and MLOps.

Skills and topics in AI & Generative AI

RAG and LLM applications

RAG engineers work on retrieval, document preparation, grounding and answer evaluation. LLM engineers also need to understand prompting, model interfaces, latency and failure cases.

Agentic AI

Agentic workflows combine a model with tools and decision steps. Document tool permissions, stopping conditions, handoffs and tests; do not describe a scripted workflow as autonomous without evidence.

MLOps and evaluation

MLOps spans reproducible data and model pipelines, deployment, monitoring and rollback. For GenAI, include evaluation datasets and checks for inaccurate or unsafe outputs.

System engineering

Python, APIs, data access, observability, access controls and cost awareness matter when moving a demonstration into an operational application.

Build a stronger professional profile

A Talent Passport lets you document your work in a structured way. You decide what is visible.

Show your role

Separate the parts you designed, built, tested or operated from work completed by a wider team.

Explain evaluation

Describe how you checked retrieval relevance, answer quality, errors and human escalation without sharing confidential prompts or data.

Name your stack in context

Connect Python, vector search, model services and deployment tools to actual responsibilities instead of presenting a long tool inventory.
