Design and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with advanced retrieval strategies (hybrid search, re-ranking, contextual compression) for knowledge-intensive tasks. Implement tool-use, MCPs, and function-calling patterns enabling agents to interact with external APIs, databases, and computational tools. Develop agent evaluation frameworks, including automated benchmarking, failure analysis, and iterative improvement loops. Basic understanding of Agent Based Modeling (ABM) development and frameworks 2. LLM Integration and Optimization Integrate and benchmark state-of-the-art LLMs (proprietary and open source) across use cases including information extraction, summarization, classification, and question answering on Arabic and multilingual content. Apply prompt engineering, structured output generation, and chain-of-thought techniques to maximize model reliability and task performance. Explore and implement fine-tuning strategies (LoRA, QLoRA, full fine-tuning) where domain adaptation is required. Monitor and optimize inference costs, latency, and throughput for production deployments. 3. AI Infrastructure and API Development Design and implement RESTful and streaming APIs to expose AI capabilities to internal systems and the ADP platform. Containerize AI services using Docker and manage deployments in line with organizational infrastructure standards. Maintain documentation, versioning, and model cards for all deployed AI systems. 4. Research, Innovation, and Collaboration Continuously monitor and evaluate emerging AI research, frameworks, and tooling to identify adoption opportunities aligned with DSDSD's mission. Collaborate with data engineers, ML engineers, and domain experts to integrate AI capabilities into end-to-end data products. Prepare technical reports, demonstrations, and presentations to communicate AI system design and findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
