• ▹Design the context and tooling architecture for the agents: what is in context, when, and why
• ▹Build and maintain the service interfaces agents work through
• ▹Keep long-running, multi-step agents reliable under real-world learner behaviour
• ▹Build the habit of testing what you ship: eval loops, regression checks, fast iteration as a default way of working

Requirements

• ▹Python & FastAPI: strong, production-grade experience with real users
• ▹At least one shipped LLM application you can discuss in detail - what broke, how you found out, what you changed
