Retrieval Augmented Generation information

What is a retrieval augmented generation?

A Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) job typically involves developing and optimizing AI systems that enhance text generation by incorporating external knowledge retrieved from relevant sources. Professionals in this field work on integrating retrieval mechanisms with large language models to improve the relevance, accuracy, and factual grounding of generated content. Common responsibilities include designing retrieval systems, fine-tuning language models, optimizing performance, and ensuring the seamless integration of factual data into AI-generated text. This role is highly interdisciplinary, involving expertise in natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and information retrieval.

What does a retrieval augmented generation engineer do?

A Retrieval Augmented Generation engineer typically spends their day designing and implementing systems that combine information retrieval with advanced generative models, such as large language models. This includes fine-tuning models, integrating external data sources, developing vector search pipelines, and evaluating output quality. Collaboration with data scientists, machine learning engineers, and product teams is common to ensure the solutions meet user requirements and scale effectively. Additionally, RAG engineers often troubleshoot issues, monitor model performance in production, and stay informed about the latest advancements in AI and information retrieval.

What skills and qualifications are needed for retrieval augmented generation?

To thrive in a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) engineering role, you need a solid background in machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and experience with scalable information retrieval systems, typically supported by a relevant degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, vector databases, and search platforms like Elasticsearch is essential, along with practical experience deploying and tuning RAG pipelines. Strong problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset, and effective communication abilities set outstanding professionals apart in this field. These competencies are crucial for designing, implementing, and optimizing hybrid retrieval-generation AI systems that address complex, real-world information needs.

Job description

The Public Sector software engineers (SWEs) create the core product building blocks forward-deployed teams use to develop agentic capabilities that function across multiple domains. SWEs responsibilities include building the systems required to ingest and process federal datasets to support real-time decision-making in contested environments. We develop novel agentic enabling capabilities that includes:

  • Create multi-layered guardrails around agents
  • Optimize data retrieval for agents
  • Orchestrate fleets of asynchronous agents
  • Automatically alerts users to deviations in data
  • Illustrating how an agent reached a decision

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will orchestrate the implementation of vertical features and horizontal capabilities to include mentoring other engineers on defining requirements with stakeholders and communication tradeoffs of technical implementations on feature and capabilities until they are accepted by the stakeholders.

You will: Orchestrate feature implementation across the Federal engineering team to ensure architectural consistency.

  • Define technical strategy for agentic guardrails, explainability, and fleet orchestration.
  • Ensure system reliability and performance across multiple security classifications and network types.
  • Mentor engineers in the process of defining requirements with stakeholders and gathering acceptance.
  • Communicate high-level technical trade-offs and implementation strategies to senior government stakeholders and Scale C-Suite members.
  • Influence the long-term product strategy and technical roadmap for the Federal business unit.
  • Consult on the architecture of AI-powered solutions for large-scale federal contracts.

Ideally you will have:

  • Full Stack Development: Proficiency in front-end, back-end development and infrastructure, including experience with modern web development frameworks, programming languages, and databases
  • Cloud-Native Technologies: Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and experience in developing and deploying applications in a cloud-native environment. Understanding of containerization (e.g., Docker) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes) is a plus
  • Data Engineering: Knowledge of ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes and experience in building data pipelines to integrate and process diverse data sources. Understanding of data modeling, data warehousing, and data governance principles
  • AI Application Integration: Familiarity with integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and building agentic workflows. Understanding of prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent orchestration is beneficial.
  • Problem Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to understand complex challenges and devise effective solutions. Ability to think critically, identify root causes, and propose innovative approaches to overcome technical obstacles
  • Collaboration and Communication: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams, stakeholders, and customers. Ability to clearly articulate technical concepts to non-technical audiences and foster a collaborative work environment
  • Adaptability and Learning Agility: Willingness to embrace new technologies, learn new skills, and adapt to defining and evolving project requirements. Ability to quickly grasp and apply new concepts and stay up-to-date with emerging trends in software engineering
