Overview:Python Developer (AI/LLM Specialist)Location: Tampa, FL - Onsite
Type: Contract
Role OverviewWe are seeking a highly skilled
Python Developer with expertise in AI, LLM integration, and agentic frameworks. The ideal candidate will design, build, and deploy advanced
multi-agent AI systems, reasoning pipelines, and task automation flows, while ensuring scalability and performance. This role also requires
leadership skills to mentor junior developers, guide project scoping, and align with cross-functional stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities - Develop and maintain Python applications leveraging modern frameworks (asyncio, FastAPI/Flask, multiprocessing).
- Design and implement AI-driven agentic systems using LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Haystack, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, and similar frameworks.
- Integrate and fine-tune LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, Mistral, and other open-source models).
- Apply advanced prompt engineering, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), chain-of-thought orchestration, tool use, and function calling to optimize AI system performance.
- Architect scalable reasoning pipelines and task automation flows.
- Implement containerization and deployment with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), including GPU optimization.
- Drive model evaluation strategies and best practices for Model Ops.
- Mentor team members, provide technical leadership, and ensure alignment across cross-functional teams.
Required Skills & Experience - 8+ years of professional Python development experience.
- Proven expertise in agentic frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Haystack, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, etc.).
- Strong background in LLM integration: fine-tuning, RAG, prompt engineering, orchestration, and tool/function usage.
- Hands-on experience with Hugging Face Transformers, OpenAI APIs, Anthropic, Mistral, and open-source models.
- Proficiency in FastAPI/Flask, asyncio, multiprocessing.
- Deployment experience with Docker, Kubernetes, GPU optimization, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Strong system design skills for multi-agent systems and reasoning pipelines.
- Excellent leadership, mentorship, and project scoping abilities.
Nice to Have - Research or implementation experience with emerging LLM/AI agent frameworks.
- Prior experience in large-scale AI/ML deployments in production environments.
- Contributions to open-source AI/ML projects.
