Role Description In this role you will work alongside experienced AI/ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers and Product Managers to prototype and bring to MVP the GenAI/LMM components of new city services for residents. You will be our Gen AI expert in the team, your role will be a mix of hands-on and advisory: - Designing, developing and testing elements of the GenAI/LLM solution alongside other team members and city teams. - Providing technical advice and coaching to city teams, some of whom will be creating their own AI prototypes (e.g., code reviews, technical coaching and guidance). - Scoping: researching appropriate solutions and models, assessing feasibility, and ideating and designing suitable Gen AI/LLM solutions. - Contributing to workshops, advising on skills development and helping cities identify and address potential risks introduced through the application of GenAI/LLMs. Qualifications - Hands-on experience building LLM based applications (chatbots, agents, document extraction and summarisation, RAG based systems). - Strong programming skills, ideally in Python plus an LLM orchestration framework such as LangChain. - Experience with LLM safeguards and guardrails (e.g., managing hallucination risk and human-in-the-loop systems). - Experience working as part of an engineering team on a shared code base (e.g., using tools like Git, and documenting work that is in development). - Experience with API integration and data wrangling (e.g., data munging, data pipelines for ETL, data analysis). - Experience with rapid prototyping and MVP delivery — propensity to build and prototype, focus on progress and learning over perfection. - Ability to scope solutions based on existing data, skills, context constraints and ability to find pragmatic compromises and workarounds. - Comfortable working with uncertainty and incomplete information, communicating the assumptions made along the way. - Ability to work independently, solve problems that arise, use flexibility and comfortably to compromise. - Collaborative team player, with an ability to work well with other team members from different disciplines and communicate ongoing work, including flagging potential risks in a timely manner. - Ability to communicate and present technical ideas and concepts to non-technical stakeholders. - Ability to coach and support other technical and non-technical people in performing technical activities. - Ability to perform professional activities in Portuguese. Nice to have skills and experience - Broader experience working with data, such as: - Working with unstructured data (e.g., free text). - Working with or generating synthetic data. - Working with data in various languages. - Working with geospatial data, including satellite data. - Working with image data (for the purposes of computer vision), including video data. - Broader experience working with in city and/or local government. - Broader experience in Responsible AI. - Broader experience working in complex projects with competing objectives.
