This role goes beyond traditional software engineering - focusing on Generative AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI-assisted development using tools like Claude, GPT, and other LLM platforms. You will play a key role in shaping our AI roadmap by building production-grade AI systems, optimizing developer productivity with AI tools, and integrating intelligent workflows into our healthcare platforms., AI Engineering & GenAI Development * Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using modern vector databases and embeddings. * Build and optimize LLM-powered applications (chatbots, copilots, automation agents). * Leverage tools like Claude, GPT, and AI coding assistants to accelerate development and improve code quality. * Develop agentic AI workflows using frameworks that enable reasoning, tool usage, and multi-step decision-making. * Design and orchestrate multi-agent workflows including orchestrator/supervisor patterns, agent handoffs, and tool routing Azure AI & Cloud Integration * Architect and deploy AI solutions using Azure AI Foundry / Azure OpenAI / Azure ML. * Manage scalable deployments using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Docker, and Helm. * Implement semantic search and vector indexing using tools like Qdrant or Azure Cognitive Search. * Build model-agnostic AI routing layers ( this is to abstract the LLM provider dependencies and create pipelines where we can change models on the fly) Full-Stack + AI Integration * Build and maintain full-stack applications integrating AI services: + Frontend: Angular / modern JS frameworks + Backend: FastAPI, Spring Boot, Node.js + Data: SQL/NoSQL systems * Integrate AI services into existing enterprise systems and APIs. AI-Driven Development & Productivity * Use AI tools (Claude, Copilot, etc.) for: + Code generation and refactoring + Debugging and optimization + Test generation and documentation * Continuously evaluate and adopt new AI tools to improve engineering velocity. DevOps & Scalability * Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) for AI applications. * Optimize system performance, scalability, and reliability of AI workloads. * Monitor and improve model performance, latency, and cost efficiency., This job description is not intended to be and should not be construed as an all-inclusive list of all the responsibilities, skills or working conditions associated with the position. While it is intended to accurately reflect the position activities and requirements, the company reserves the right to modify, add or remove duties and assign other duties as necessary. ## Related Videos - [Agentic AI - From Theory to Practice: Developing Multi-Agent AI Systems on Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1532-agentic-ai-from-theory-to-practice-developing-multi-agent-ai-systems-on-azure) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [Speak, Code, Deploy: Transforming Developer Experience with Voice Commands](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1159-speak-code-deploy-transforming-developer-experience-with-voice-commands) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [The State of WebDev AI 2025 Results: What Can We Learn?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/581-the-state-of-webdev-ai-2025-results-what-can-we-learn)
