• Experience building AI applications such as LLM-based solutions, RAG pipelines, or intelligent automation workflows. Familiarity with AI frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar tools.

• Experience developing applications using languages commonly used in AI development. Python experience is strongly recommended. Experience with APIs, microservices, and containerisation is beneficial.

• Exposure to SAP BTP or similar enterprise cloud platforms is beneficial and will be developed on the job. /

  • Evaluate and integrate open-source and proprietary LLMs.

SAP Platform Integration:
