AI/ML Engineer – Technical Skill Set (Agentic AI Focus)

1. Core Programming & Systems Skills
 Python (expert level) for ML, orchestration, and agent logic
 Robust understanding of async programming, concurrency, and task scheduling
2. Foundations of Agentic AI
 Design and implementation of autonomous AI agents capable of:
o Multistep reasoning and planning
o Goal decomposition and task orchestration
o Dynamic decisionmaking under uncertainty
 Experience with agent architectures:
o ReAct, PlanandExecute, Reflexive agents
o Hierarchical / multiagent systems
o Toolaugmented and functioncalling agents
 Understanding of stateful vs stateless agents and memory management
3. Large Language Models (LLMs)
 Handson experience with LLMs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, opensource models)
 Promptengineering techniques for:
o Reasoning (ChainofThought, SelfReflection)
o Planning and critique loops
o Instruction following and tool use
 Experience with:
o Fewshot and zeroshot prompting
o Model selection tradeoffs (latency, cost, context length)




 Knowledge of finetuning / adapters (LoRA) is a plus
4. Agent Frameworks & Tooling
 Practical experience with agent frameworks, such as:
o LangGraph / LangChain (agents, tools, memory)
o Semantic Kernel
o AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar
 Ability to build custom agent orchestration layers beyond frameworks
 Tool abstraction and execution safety (timeouts, retries, sandboxing)
Classification:
Internal
5. Memory, Context & Knowledge Augmentation
 Design of agent memory systems:
o Shortterm (conversation/state memory)
o Longterm (episodic, semantic memory)
 RetrievalAugmented Generation (RAG):
o Vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Azure AI Search, etc.)
o Embedding selection and chunking strategies
 Techniques for context management and compression
 Knowledge graph–augmented or hybrid memory (plus)
6. Planning, Reasoning & Control
 Experience implementing:
o Task planners (step planning, replanning)
o Constraintbased execution
o F
