Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled AI Engineer experience in Software Development, Data Science, or Machine Learning to design, develop, and deploy cutting-edge AI systems leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), Chatbots, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and agentic AI architectures.

This role involves hands-on development with LLMs, embeddings, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent systems using modern frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex. The ideal candidate has experience with Vertex AI on GCP and IBM WatsonX, fine-tuning, and Agent Development Kits (ADKs), and is excited about building scalable, production-grade AI platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Agentic AI Development:

    • Design, build, and deploy agentic AI systems  using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, and related libraries.

    Develop and deploy multi-agent systems  capable of autonomous decision-making, reasoning, planning, and collaboration.

  • RAG Pipelines:

    • Implement and optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)  systems, ensuring agents can access and incorporate external knowledge sources for grounded, accurate responses .

  • LLM Engineering:

    • Fine-tune and prompt-engineer LLMs for task-specific reasoning, planning, and dynamic adaptation .

    Work with LLM/SLM APIs, embeddings, and advanced generative AI techniques .

  • Enterprise AI Platform:

    • Lead the development of enterprise-grade AI platforms integrating LLMs, RAG, embeddings, and agentic AI protocols .

    Implement and standardize Model Context Protocol (MCP)  for consistent context management across models and agents.

  • MLOps & Observability:

    • Establish and enforce best practices for MLOps, monitoring, and observability , ensuring scalable and maintainable AI solutions.

  • Applied AI Prototyping:

    • Rapidly prototype, experiment, and iterate  to improve AI agent capabilities.

  • Collaboration & Research:

    • Participate in the full research cycle : literature review, data exploration, experimentation, and presentation of findings.

    Collaborate effectively with other engineers, researchers, and data scientists.

    Contribute to the documentation and standardization  of technical code and practices.

    Required Education

    Bachelor’s degree  in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field. Master’s or Ph.D.  is a strong plus.

    Required Experience

  • 5+ years overall experience  in software development, data science, or machine learning.
  • 1+ year of hands-on experience  developing AI applications with LLMs and systems such as retrieval-based methods, fine-tuning, or agent-based architectures .
  • 1+ year of experience  with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, or similar tools .

    • Required Technical Skills

  • Strong programming skills in Python  and basics in SQL .
  • Expertise with LLM/SLM APIs, embeddings, and RAG systems .
  • Experience deploying on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)  with Vertex AI,  and IBM WatsonX .
  • Familiarity with agentic AI protocols  and exposure to Agent Development Kits (ADKs) .

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP)  for agent coordination.
  • Prior exposure to LangGraph, AutoGen, or related orchestration frameworks .
  • Knowledge of MLOps best practices  (CI/CD for ML, observability, monitoring, scaling).
  • Familiarity with responsible AI  principles (safety, fairness, interpretability).
  • Experience in enterprise-scale deployments  of AI-driven platforms.
  • Contributions to open-source AI/ML projects are a plus.
