• Create intuitive interfaces : Build user-friendly APIs and UIs that simplify and visualise complex AI concepts.
• Champion Best Practices : Lead the team in adopting coding standards and best practices, ensuring a clean, maintainable, and scalable codebase.
• Collaborate : Work closely with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deliver features that align with the platform's vision.
