Responsibilities

  • Build intent-based routing engines that evaluate user queries and direct them to either deterministic execution layers (e.g., Python code interpreters running over in-memory DataFrames) or semantic retrieval layers (RAG).
  • Build and maintain a dual-engine vector search architecture: Amazon OpenSearch Serverless for unstructured policy, regulation, and SOP document retrieval, and PostgreSQL + pgvector for structured transactional logs, incident histories, and audit records.
  • Build scalable, event-driven ingestion pipelines using AWS S3, SQS, EventBridge, and AWS Fargate to parse raw documents (PDF, Word, CSV) into Markdown.
  • Implement user-delegated token pass-through (JWT forwarding) so that data-access permissions are enforced mechanically by the legacy API.
  • Design hard metadata filters (where tenant_id = jwt.tenant_id) in OpenSearch and pgvector to ensure multi-tenant isolation.
