SUMMARY:
The AI Engineer (GenAI Features) specializes in designing, building, and deploying production-grade generative AI applications. This role focuses on translating GenAI concepts into customer-facing and internal features using modern LLM frameworks (LangChain, LangSmith, Agentcore) and advanced retrieval architectures (RAG, GraphRAG with Neo4j/Neptune). The AI Engineer collaborates closely with DevOps and data engineering teams to architect end-to-end solutions, write custom ETL logic, and optimize retrieval systems. Success requires deep expertise in GenAI patterns, knowledge graph design, semantic search, and the ability to bridge research and production while maintaining code quality and system reliability.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
The following is a list of essential functions, which is subject to change at any time and without advance notice. Management may assign new duties, reassign existing duties, or eliminate a function based on business needs or at its sole discretion.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• GenAI Feature Development: Build production GenAI applications using LangChain, LangSmith, and Agentcore. Implement complex agent workflows with tool use, memory management, and multi-step reasoning. Design and optimize agentic patterns for reliability, latency, and cost.
• RAG & GraphRAG Architecture: Design and implement retrieval-augmented generation systems using semantic search and vector databases. Architect knowledge graphs using Neo4j/Neptune for structured reasoning. Optimize retrieval strategies for accuracy, latency, and relevance ranking.
• Data Pipeline & ETL Development: Write custom Python ETL scripts for data preparation, indexing, and synchronization. Design schema and data models for graph databases. Collaborate with data team on AWS Glue orchestration and S3 management.
• Database & Query Optimization: Write optimized SQL queries and design database schema. Optimize Neo4j/Neptune Cypher/SPARQL queries and implement efficient vector similarity search in OpenSearch.
• Backend API Development: Build production FastAPI services for GenAI features. Implement async request handling, error management, and fallback strategies for LLM unreliability.
• Model Tracking & Experimentation: Establish experiment tracking using MLflow, including model versioning, hyperparameter logging, and metrics comparison. Log and monitor LLM outputs for quality and bias.
• Production Monitoring & Debugging: Implement logging, metrics, and tracing using CloudWatch and LangSmith. Monitor LLM latency, token usage, and costs. Respond to production incidents with rapid remediation.
• Code Quality & Testing: Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Perform code reviews and test AI system outputs for correctness and safety.
