Job description


Key Responsibilities
  • Own delivery of LLM API integration and SDK patterns used across applications.

  • Set organizational guidance on which LLM to use for what use case and drive delivery of multi-LLM scenarios.

  • Define standards for advanced prompt engineering and context window management.

  • Own delivery of RAG systems, including vector database selection/topology and knowledgebase design.

  • Drive delivery of AI agent and multi-agent systems and tool-use/MCP integration patterns.

  • Own guardrails delivery (safety, compliance, PII handling in prompts/outputs) - critical in a financial-services context.

  • Define evaluation frameworks and real-time eval strategy; set standards for AI testing in CI/CD.

  • Own latency profiling, AI observability, and cost tracking/management for LLM-backed systems.

  • Run day-to-day delivery of the offshore development team: sprint commitments, code/design review, real-time unblocking, and hands-on work on critical-path AI features.

  • Report delivery status, risks, and blockers to engineering leadership.

Must-Have Qualifications
  • 6+ years in software engineering, with 2+ years as a tech lead owning end-to-end delivery of LLM/AI-powered systems (not a pure design/review architect role).

  • Proven track record of shipping AI-powered features on committed timelines, including hands-on troubleshooting under delivery pressure.

  • Strong, hands-on Python skills at an architectural/systems level.

  • Proven experience architecting LLM API integrations and SDK-level abstractions across multiple providers.

  • Demonstrated judgment on model selection (cost, latency, capability trade-offs) across use cases.

  • Deep expertise in prompt engineering and context window management at scale.

  • Proven design experience with RAG systems, including vector database architecture and knowledgebase design.

  • Experience architecting AI agents/multi-agent systems and tool-use patterns (MCP or equivalent).

  • Strong understanding of guardrails design - content safety, PII protection, compliance controls for AI outputs.

  • Experience defining evaluation frameworks and integrating AI testing into CI/CD.

  • Proven ability to design for latency, observability, and cost management of AI systems in production.

  • Financial-services or regulated-industry experience strongly preferred given compliance/guardrail stakes.

  • Strong stakeholder communication; able to directly manage day-to-day delivery of an offshore team (standups, unblocking, sprint accountability).

Nice-to-Have Qualifications
  • Direct experience with specific frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, or equivalent).

  • Experience with AWS Bedrock or comparable managed LLM platforms.

  • Contributions to or deep familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) implementations.

  • Experience building internal LLM gateways.

  • Familiarity with responsible-AI/model-risk-management frameworks used in financial services.

Compensation, Benefits and Duration
Minimum Compensation: USD 56,000
Maximum Compensation: USD 196,000
Compensation is based on actual experience and qualifications of the candidate. The above is a reasonable and a good faith estimate for the role.
Medical, vision, and dental benefits, 401k retirement plan, variable pay/incentives, paid time off, and paid holidays are available for full-time employees.
