Bridge the gap between experimental machine learning and production-grade software by engineering systems that orchestrate Large Language Models (LLMs) and "agentic" workflows. Build and champion a "Self-Healing" infrastructure that moves operations beyond traditional monitoring into a new era of observability and predictive intelligence. Solve complex business problems by integrating RAG pipelines and autonomous remediation tools to ensure high-performance, intelligent system reliability across cloud environments.

• Implement complex AI workflows using frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex to drive agentic solutions for enterprise-level challenges

• Deliver high-quality RAG pipelines utilizing Milvus vector databases to improve data retrieval accuracy and reduce model hallucinations

• Automate Tier-1 and Tier-2 incident resolutions by developing "Runbooks-as-Code" using Python and Ansible for self-healing infrastructure

• Establish rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure model performance and accuracy, ensuring production-grade reliability for LLM responses

• Champion the transition to AI-native development by mentoring junior engineers and defining engineering best practices across the department

• Optimize system performance and cost by engineering microservices that handle asynchronous AI processing and intelligent token management

• Mastery of backend engineering and API design (RESTful/GraphQL) to seamlessly expose AI capabilities to complex frontend applications

• Expert proficiency in AI integration and the current LLM landscape, including prompt engineering and the orchestration of Transformer-based models

• Advanced technical literacy in AI-specific monitoring and observability tools like Dynatrace, LangSmith, or Weights & Biases to track model performance

• Critical experience in designing ETL pipelines for unstructured data and managing vector databases to support scalable RAG systems

• Strong collaborative leadership and decision-making skills to guide cross-functional teams through the complexities of cloud-native AI development

• A fearless and curious approach to problem-solving that enables the rapid adoption of emerging technologies like autonomous agents and predictive intelligence

• Contributions to open-source AI projects or a portfolio of "Agentic" AI applications

• Certifications in Cloud AI (e.g., AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty)

• Minimum Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a relevant field

• Minimum Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in backend or full-stack software development with a focus on AI/ML integration
