You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and deploying production-grade AI systems that leverage the latest in large language models (LLMs), orchestration frameworks, and agentic architectures.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Development
  • Build scalable and robust AI-driven applications using LLMs and agentic frameworks.
  • Implement vector database solutions to enable semantic search, RAG (retrieval augmented generation), and knowledge management.
  • Develop orchestration pipelines with frameworks like LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or emerging agentic frameworks such as Agno and Parlant.
• Automation & Integration
  • Integrate workflow automation platforms (n8n, dify.ai Power Automate, etc.) with AI systems to deliver end-to-end business solutions.
  • Ensure seamless integration with existing enterprise software ecosystems and APIs.
• Quality & Evaluation
  • Apply or contribute to LLM evaluation methodologies, leveraging platforms like Arize, DeepEval, or IBM WatsonX for model benchmarking, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
  • Establish best practices for testing, performance tuning, and evaluation of agentic/LLM-based workflows.
• Collaboration & Delivery
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams including data scientists, software engineers, and product owners.
  • Translate business requirements into technical designs and deliver working AI-powered applications in production environments.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong background in software engineering (e.g., system design, distributed systems, APIs, CI/CD).
• Proven experience in building Generative AI and/or agentic systems.
• Hands-on expertise with:
  • LLMs and model fine-tuning or integration.
  • Vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, FAISS, etc.).
  • LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, etc.).
  • Agentic frameworks (Pydantic AI, Agno, Parlant, or similar).
• Proficiency in at least one major programming language such as Python or .NET (strong engineering fundamentals matter more than specific syntax).
• Hands-on experience architecting, deploying, and operating cloud-native solutions on one or more major hyperscale platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
• Experience with workflow automation tools like n8n, dify.ai, Power Automate, or similar platforms.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks (Arize, DeepEval, IBM WatsonX).
• Contributions to open-source AI frameworks or communities.
• Experience in MLOps, monitoring, and model deployment pipelines.

Who You Are

• A problem-solver with strong engineering rigor and curiosity for cutting-edge AI.
• Comfortable moving between architecture, coding, and deployment.
• Passionate about transforming abstract business needs into intelligent, production-ready systems.

Salary range for this role is between $84,000 and $128,000.
