  • Support RAG and document-intelligence workflows, including document ingestion, chunking, metadata design, retrieval quality, structured extraction, and validation with subject-matter experts.

  • Evaluate AI outputs for accuracy, groundedness, completeness, formatting, usability, and business value; use feedback and test cases to improve configurations over time.

  • Create reusable playbooks, templates, demos, and reference materials that help technology and commercial teams use AI safely and effectively.

  • Communicate AI capabilities, limitations, risks, and recommended usage patterns clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Stay current on practical advancements in applied AI, context engineering, enterprise copilots, agentic workflows, RAG, and AI evaluation methods.

  • Strong practical experience using generative AI tools to improve analysis, documentation, coding, research, workflow automation, or business productivity.

  • Working knowledge of LLM concepts, including prompting, context windows, retrieval, hallucination risk, structured outputs, model selection, and evaluation tradeoffs.

  • Familiarity with applied AI patterns such as RAG, embeddings, vector search, document extraction, tool calling, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop review.

  • Strong programming and data skills, including Python, SQL, and tools/libraries used in agentic development like langgraph, langchain, Pydantic models, NumPy, FastAPI/MCP, etc.

  • Ability to work with APIs, JSON, MCPs, Git or version-controlled artifacts, and lightweight automation or prototyping workflows.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate business needs into technical requirements and explain AI concepts in plain language.

  • Strong problem-solving skills, curiosity, attention to detail, and ability to work independently while collaborating across commercial, technology, and control functions.

  • Understanding of responsible AI and Software practices, including data sensitivity, access control, auditability, and appropriate escalation of higher-risk use cases.

Prefered Qualifications

  • Prior experience in commodities, energy, trading, logistics, asset operations, market analytics, or commercial decision-support workflows.

  • Hands-on familiarity with enterprise AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT/OpenAI, Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot.

  • Exposure to Snowflake, vector databases, knowledge-base configuration, and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure.

  • Portfolio examples showing practical AI use: an agent, workflow automation, prompt/context library, RAG prototype, document extraction workflow, evaluation framework, or AI-enabled business process improvement.
