The role will focus on delivering a production-grade RAG system and AI chatbot that can securely integrate with enterprise data, APIs, databases, and cloud services. General information: The organization is developing an AI-powered platform and requires an experienced individual contributor to build its RAG architecture and conversational AI capabilities. The developer will work closely with a distributed team and should be available for several hours of overlap with US working hours. The project involves designing AI systems that go beyond basic prompt engineering, including multi-step workflows, autonomous agents, vector search, knowledge retrieval, memory management, and tool integration. The solution must be scalable, secure, observable, and suitable for production use. The technology environment includes Python, FastAPI, large language models, LangGraph, LangChain, vector databases, Azure AI services, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and microservice-based architectures. Task and deliverables: * Design the end-to-end architecture for a scalable RAG system and AI chatbot. * Develop Python backend services, REST APIs, and microservices using FastAPI or similar frameworks. * Build document ingestion, chunking, embedding, indexing, retrieval, and reranking pipelines. * Implement vector search solutions using Azure AI Search or comparable vector databases. * Design autonomous AI agents capable of planning, reasoning, tool usage, and decision-making. * Develop multi-step AI workflows using LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar orchestration frameworks. * Integrate commercial and open-source LLMs, including Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, and comparable models. * Implement conversation memory, session management, context management, and agent collaboration patterns. * Connect AI workflows with APIs, databases, enterprise systems, and external tools. * Develop asynchronous, high-performance services capable of handling concurrent AI workloads. * Implement prompt management, structured outputs, guardrails, fallback logic, and model evaluation processes. * Establish logging, monitoring, tracing, observability, security, and error-handling standards. * Containerize and deploy AI services using Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, or AWS. * Translate business requirements into technical designs, delivery milestones, and production-ready AI solutions. * Collaborate with the wider team while independently owning architecture and implementation decisions. ## Related Videos - [How to Avoid LLM Pitfalls - Mete Atamel and Guillaume Laforge](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1328-how-to-avoid-llm-pitfalls-mete-atamel-and-guillaume-laforge) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [OpenAPI meets OpenAI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1150-openapi-meets-openai) - [Multilingual NLP pipeline up and running from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/901-multilingual-nlp-pipeline-up-and-running-from-scratch) ## Related Articles - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [The 7 Most Popular Backend Frameworks for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/403-the-7-most-popular-backend-frameworks-for-developers) - [20 Essential Tools For Backend Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/218-20-essential-tools-for-backend-development) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [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) - [The 13 Best Python Libraries for Developers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/371-the-13-best-python-libraries-for-developers-in-2025)
