• Solid understanding of microservices architecture and distributed systems.

• Hands-on experience consuming LLM APIs (OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) in production Java applications.

• Familiarity with Spring AI or LangChain4j for building LLM-backed services in Java ecosystems.

• Experience with prompt engineering — crafting, versioning, and testing prompts for accuracy, safety, and cost efficiency.
