    • Collaboration and delegation across agents

LLM & AI Engineering

  • Integrate and optimize LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models)
  • Apply prompt engineering, structured outputs, function calling, and RAG techniques
  • Fine-tune or adapt foundation models where required
  • Evaluate and improve model performance, reliability, and hallucination control

Tooling & Orchestration

  • Enable agents to safely use tools such as:
    • APIs and microservices
    • Databases (SQL/NoSQL/vector stores)
    • Web search and enterprise systems
  • Implement agent frameworks and orchestration layers (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, custom frameworks)

Data, Memory & Knowledge Systems

  • Design vector-based memory systems using embeddings
  • Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines
  • Manage knowledge ingestion, indexing, and lifecycle
