Job Description

We are seeking an experienced AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade GenAI solutions. This role focuses on developing agentic AI systems, GraphRAG applications, and enterprise LLM services that solve real business problems. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience taking GenAI applications from proof of concept into production, enjoys working with modern agent development frameworks, and stays current with the rapidly evolving GenAI ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deploy production-grade GenAI applications leveraging foundation models and advanced architectures such as GraphRAG.
  • Develop autonomous AI agents using modern agent development frameworks such as Google ADK, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or similar technologies.
  • Take AI solutions from prototype through production deployment, ensuring scalability, reliability, observability, and maintainability.
  • Design and implement advanced RAG and GraphRAG pipelines that integrate enterprise knowledge sources using embeddings and knowledge graphs.
  • Build scalable REST APIs using Python (FastAPI) that power LLM-driven enterprise applications.
  • Containerize and deploy AI services using Docker and cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Implement LLM evaluation frameworks using LangSmith, Ragas, DeepEval, or custom evaluation pipelines to measure answer quality, groundedness, latency, and hallucination rates.
  • Apply LLMOps best practices including CI/CD, prompt/version management, automated testing, monitoring, and production observability.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate AI capabilities into enterprise platforms.
  • Mentor engineers and contribute to technical best practices for GenAI application development.
  • Stay current with emerging GenAI technologies, agent frameworks, and industry best practices, evaluating new tools and approaches as the ecosystem evolves.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, including recent experience building GenAI or LLM-powered applications.
  • Demonstrated experience taking GenAI applications from proof of concept into production.
  • Hands-on experience with one or more modern agent development frameworks such as Google ADK, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or similar.
  • Strong Python development skills, including FastAPI and REST API design.
  • Experience implementing RAG or GraphRAG solutions using embeddings, vector databases, knowledge graphs, and enterprise data sources.
  • Experience deploying AI workloads using Docker and AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with LLMOps practices including CI/CD, prompt management, model/version governance, monitoring, and evaluation.
  • Experience with LLM evaluation tools such as LangSmith, Ragas, DeepEval, or equivalent frameworks.
  • Demonstrated curiosity and commitment to staying current with the rapidly evolving GenAI and agentic AI landscape.
