  • Understanding of modern AI architectures and their production context, including large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, application programming interfaces, and data and cloud platforms.

  • Knowledge of the EU AI Act and practical model risk management.
  • Experience with on-premises or hybrid deployments for sensitive environments.
