• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with ML/DS teams, product teams, and architects to understand requirements and ensure systems meet business needs.
• Security & Compliance: Ensure all agentic components comply with healthcare security and privacy regulations (e.g., HIPAA) and adhere to industry best practices for security.
• Agile Development: Contribute to sprint planning, execution, and retrospectives, driving efficiency and velocity within the engineering team and collaborating closely with stakeholders to align with product goals and business priorities.
