Evaluation harnesses in CI. ## Description We are hiring a Senior AI Engineer who builds production-grade AI products end-to-end. You will design and ship AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, and fine-tuned small language models, while also owning the full-stack delivery from React/Vue/Angular frontends through Python/Node backends to AWS, GCP and Azure deployments. Equally important: you are an AI-adopted engineer. You use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other AI coding assistants as a daily multiplier, and you know how to use them well - managing context, controlling token spend, writing CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md files, using subagents and MCP servers, and applying evaluation-driven workflows so that AI-generated code is shipped responsibly. What You Will Do * Design, build and deploy AI agents using LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI or equivalent frameworks - including multi-agent orchestration, tool use, memory, and planning loops. * Architect RAG pipelines end-to-end: ingestion, chunking, embedding selection, vector stores (Pinecone / Weaviate / Qdrant / pgvector), hybrid search, re-ranking, query rewriting, and evaluation. * Fine-tune small and open-source language models (Llama, Mistral, Phi, Gemma, Qwen) using LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, instruction tuning and DPO - and decide when fine-tuning is the right answer versus prompting or RAG. * Build full-stack AI applications: React/Next.js frontends with streaming UIs (Vercel AI SDK / SSE / WebSockets), FastAPI or Node backends, and well-designed APIs. * Own deployment, scaling and observability on AWS (Bedrock, SageMaker, Lambda, ECS/EKS) and GCP (Vertex AI, Cloud Run, GKE), with Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform and CI/CD. * Implement LLM observability and evals using LangSmith, Langfuse, RAGAS, DeepEval - and treat evaluation as a first-class engineering artifact, not an afterthought. * Apply AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Copilot) as a daily tool with strong discipline around context management, token efficiency, subagents, hooks, slash commands, and MCP servers. * Address non-functional requirements: latency budgets, cost/token economics, prompt injection defense, PII handling, OWASP LLM Top 10, rate limiting, semantic caching, and graceful degradation.Collaborate with product, design and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous problems into shippable AI solutions, and mentor mid-level engineers on AI engineering practices., * Daily, production-grade use of Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Understands CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md, project memory files, slash commands, subagents, hooks, MCP servers, and plan-vs-execute workflows. * Deliberate token and context management: knows when to use Haiku vs Sonnet vs Opus (and equivalents on other providers), uses prompt caching, batches work, prunes context aggressively. * Disciplined review of AI-generated code, with tests and evals - never ships unread output. Full-Stack Engineering * Backend: Python (FastAPI / Flask) and/or Node.js (TypeScript). Solid grasp of async patterns, streaming responses (SSE / WebSockets/ API). * Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS. Comfortable building streaming chat UIs and agentic interfaces. * Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis, at least one vector DB. Familiar with schema design, indexing, and query optimization. Non-Functional Engineering * Latency: streaming, parallel tool calls, model routing, semantic caching, request batching. * Cost: token accounting, model tiering (cheap-first), prompt caching, context compression, batch APIs. * Security: prompt injection defense, output filtering, PII redaction, OWASP LLM Top 10, secrets management, least-privilege IAM.Reliability: retries, fallbacks across providers, rate limiting, queue-based decoupling, structured error handling. ## Related Videos - [Building AI Applications with LangChain and Node.js](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1512-building-ai-applications-with-langchain-and-node-js) - [Unleashing Potential Across Teams: The Power of Infrastructure as Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/930-unleashing-potential-across-teams-the-power-of-infrastructure-as-code) - [Putting the Graph In GraphQL With The Neo4j GraphQL Library](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/257-putting-the-graph-in-graphql-with-the-neo4j-graphql-library) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Terraform for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/3-terraform-for-developers) - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) ## Related Articles - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [A 5-Step Open-Source Setup for Agentic Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/738-a-5-step-open-source-setup-for-agentic-engineering) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this)
