LLM integration for data: NL-to-SQL, documentation/enrichment, catalog search, semantic layers, and RAG.
Embeddings and vector search (Azure AI Search, pgvector, Pinecone or equivalent) over lakehouse/catalog.
Agentic workflows for ops: incident runbooks, pipeline triage, schema-change diffing, and code reviews with human-in-the-loop.
Safety/compliance: PII/PHI handling, redaction, guardrails/moderation, data residency, secrets (Key Vault), HIPAA alignment.
Measurement & cost: evals, latency/throughput tradeoffs, token/cost tracking, model/version pinning and resilient fallbacks.

Healthcare/Pharmacy Domain (Preferred)
Experience in healthcare or pharmacy; understanding of HIPAA and PHI constraints.
