Languages & Frameworks: Strong proficiency in Python and backend development with FastAPI (or similar frameworks like Flask), development experience with Node.js
API Skills: Demonstrated ability to design and deliver high-performance, secure RESTful APIs.
DevOps and IaC Implementation: Implement DevOps practices and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for API development and deployment. Automate build and release pipelines (CI/CD) using tools such as GitHub Actions, manage infrastructure with Terraform/CloudFormation, and ensure smooth deployment of API services across environments.
Security: Knowledge of application security practices, including Azure Entra authentication/authorization, strong knowledge of API security standards and protocols (OAuth 2.0, JWT, SSL/TLS, etc.), and experience implementing governance around API access, authorization, and data protection.
DevOps Familiarity: Comfortable with containerization concepts (Docker) and basic infrastructure scripting (Terraform, Bash, or similar) is a plus.
Context window: The model s short-term working memory limit for text/images in a single run.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Pulling relevant knowledge from external sources (docs/search/vector DB) to ground answers.
Embeddings & vector search: Turning content into vectors to enable semantic retrieval and similarity matching.
Fine-tuning vs adapters (e.g., LoRA): Updating model behavior with task data; tradeoff between control, cost, and maintenance.
Tool/function calling: Letting the model invoke calculators, APIs, databases, workflows, and other systems.
Structured outputs: JSON/schema-constrained outputs for reliability and system integration.
Evaluation (evals): Measuring quality with tests (accuracy, faithfulness, toxicity, latency, cost).
Hallucinations: Confident-sounding incorrect outputs; mitigated via RAG, constraints, verification, and UX patterns.
Safety & governance: Policy controls, red-teaming, data handling, and auditability.
Agentic AI core concepts
Agent: A model that can plan, act, and iterate toward a goal (not just answer once).
Autonomy spectrum: From suggest-only to execute with approvals to fully automated (rare in enterprise).
Planning & decomposition: Breaking goals into steps/subtasks; selecting strategies and sequencing actions.
Tool use & action execution: Calling tools/APIs to change state (create tickets, deploy, update records).
Memory: Persisted preferences/knowledge (user, task, org) vs ephemeral conversation context.
State & workspace: Tracking intermediate artifacts (tasks, assumptions, files, run logs).
Reflection/verification loops: Self-checking, critique, or second-pass validation to reduce errors.
Multi-agent patterns: Specialized agents (e.g., researcher, coder, reviewer) coordinating with handoffs.
Human-in-the-loop (HITL): Approval gates, review queues, and escalation when confidence is low.
Guardrails: Policy checks, allowlists/denylists for tools, spend limits, and sensitive-data filters.
Observability: Traces, tool-call logs, failure modes, and metrics (success rate, MTTR, cost per task).
API Development: Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable RESTful APIs using Python and the FastAPI framework.
Web Application Delivery: Collaborate with frontend teams to build and integrate APIs with web applications.
CI/CD Ownership: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps to ensure rapid and reliable delivery of code to production.
Secure Development: Implement security best practices across web applications and APIs, including OAuth2, JWT, and secure coding standards.
Code Quality & Testing: Write clean, modular code with strong emphasis on unit testing, integration testing, and code reviews.
Documentation & Collaboration: Create and maintain technical documentation. Collaborate closely with architects and business teams
Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with industry trends, frameworks, and best practices to drive continuous improvement in development and deployment practices.
