Job description

Role: Senior AI Developer

Location: Mettawa, IL (Onsite)

Rate: $80/hr on C2C

Design, build, and deploy cutting-edge AI solutions that leverage the power of knowledge graphs and generative models. You will be instrumental in developing high-impact applications, with a specific focus on implementing Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) systems to provide accurate, contextually enriched, and trustworthy AI outputs grounded in enterprise data.

This role requires deep expertise in AI/ML, Neo4j, GraphRAG and GenAI.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect and Implement AI Systems: Lead the design and development of end-to-end GenAI solutions, including RAG pipelines and AI agents, from idea to production deployment.
  • Knowledge Graph Development: Design, develop, and maintain large-scale knowledge graphs using Neo4j to structure complex, multi-source enterprise data (both structured and unstructured).
  • GraphRAG Implementation: Build sophisticated GraphRAG pipelines that integrate vector databases and knowledge graphs to ground AI responses in factual, verifiable information and mitigate hallucinations.
  • Model Integration and Optimization: Collaborate with data scientists and ML engineers to prepare data and infrastructure for fine-tuning open-source or proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs) and optimizing them for performance and efficiency.
  • Data Pipeline Development: Set up scalable data pipelines for data ingestion, embedding generation, preprocessing, and continuous model training/retraining.
  • Technical Leadership & Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams (e.g., data engineers, product managers, business stakeholders) to translate complex business needs into robust, scalable AI architectures and provide technical guidance to junior developers.
  • Innovation & Best Practices: Stay current with the latest advancements in GenAI, graph databases, and MLOps, advocating for and implementing best practices in CI/CD, testing, and responsible AI. 

 

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience: 7+ years of experience in software development or AI engineering, with a strong portfolio of production-ready AI projects.
  • Programming Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency in Python and related AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, LlamaIndex).
  • Graph Database Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with graph databases, especially Neo4j, including data modeling, Cypher query language, and graph algorithms.
  • GenAI & RAG Knowledge: Deep understanding and practical experience with GenAI concepts, LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, and building RAG systems.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Experience in deploying and optimizing models in cloud environments (GCP) and managing project infrastructure.
  • Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to tackle complex, novel challenges in AI development.
  • Education: Bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
