Job description

  • Architect, design, develop, deploy, and operate production-grade AI systems powered by LLMs, agents, retrieval, and enterprise data.

  • Build agentic AI systems that leverage tool use, memory, planning, orchestration, and workflow automation to solve complex business problems.

  • Design and implement scalable RAG, search, retrieval, ranking, and knowledge systems across structured and unstructured data sources.

  • Develop LLM-powered applications, including prompt and context engineering, tool integrations, model routing, guardrails, and workflow orchestration.

  • Optimize AI systems for quality, latency, reliability, scalability, observability, and cost efficiency.

  • Establish evaluation frameworks, experimentation platforms, and feedback loops to continuously improve AI system performance and user outcomes.

  • Build and maintain cloud-native services, APIs, SDKs, and distributed systems that enable reliable development and operation of AI capabilities.

  • Design and support asynchronous communication patterns, event-driven architectures, and workflow orchestration using messaging and streaming technologies.

  • Partner closely with applied scientists, engineers, product managers, and domain experts to translate ambiguous requirements into scalable technical solutions.

  • Drive architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and raise engineering standards across the organization.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional experience in software engineering, machine learning engineering, applied machine learning, or related fields.

  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or equivalent practical experience.

  • Proven track record of designing, building, and operating production ML, AI, LLM, RAG, search, recommendation, conversational AI, or agentic AI systems at scale.

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including distributed systems, concurrency, APIs, data structures, algorithms, testing, debugging, and production operations.

  • Proficiency in Python and Java with experience developing and maintaining production software in both languages.

  • Hands-on experience building scalable backend services, cloud-native systems, APIs, distributed applications, or model-serving platforms.

  • Experience with modern LLM ecosystems, including prompt engineering, tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation, model serving, evaluation, and deployment.

  • Experience building search, retrieval, ranking, vector database, or enterprise knowledge systems.

  • Experience with asynchronous communication patterns, message queues, pub/sub systems, data streaming platforms, or event-driven architectures.

  • Experience with containerized applications and Kubernetes-based deployments.

  • Strong technical judgment and the ability to balance quality, latency, reliability, scalability, and cost tradeoffs.

  • Demonstrated ownership of complex technical problems from architecture through production operation.

  • Strong communication skills and experience working effectively across engineering, product, and applied science teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building agentic AI systems involving planning, tool orchestration, memory, autonomous workflows, or multi-agent architectures.

  • Experience with frameworks and platforms such as LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, MCP, or equivalent orchestration technologies.

  • Experience with retrieval and ranking technologies such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, vector databases, hybrid search, reranking, and query understanding systems.

  • Experience designing and operating production LLM serving platforms with responsibility for latency, throughput, reliability, scalability, observability, and cost efficiency.

  • Experience with model adaptation techniques such as fine-tuning, LoRA, distillation, preference optimization, or domain adaptation.

  • Experience building evaluation systems, A/B testing frameworks, human-in-the-loop review processes, and AI quality measurement platforms.

  • Experience with OCI, AWS, Azure, or GCP and technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Spark, or equivalent distributed systems.

  • Experience developing tools, frameworks, APIs, or platforms used by applied scientists, data scientists, or machine learning engineers.

  • Experience building AI systems in healthcare, enterprise SaaS, regulated environments, or other privacy-sensitive domains.

  • Demonstrated technical leadership through architecture ownership, mentoring, cross-functional collaboration, and delivery of high-impact initiatives.
