Your Role

As an AI Optimization Support Engineer, you are the technical bridge between cutting‑edge AI deployments and long‑term operational excellence. You aren't just building the engine; you are the expert responsible for fine‑tuning it to peak performance once it's in the wild. You will take full ownership of escalated AI issues, acting as a "Technical Detective" for our most strategic customers when their Agentic AI workflows face complex challenges.
