• Build and orchestrate Agentic AI systems (tool use, planning, memory, guardrails) to automate multi-step business processes and integrate with enterprise systems/APIs.
• Develop RAG architectures for enterprise knowledge retrieval, including chunking strategies, embedding generation, indexing, reranking, and response grounding/citation.
• Implement and operate vector database solutions including schema design, indexing, and performance tuning.
• Develop scalable AI services based on business requirements from the Internal Audit.
• Establish evaluation frameworks for LLM/RAG (quality, hallucination/grounding, latency, cost), and implement monitoring/observability in production.
• Apply security, privacy, and responsible AI practices (data handling, access controls, prompt safety, model governance) aligned to organizational standards.
• Collaborate with architects and platform teams to define reference architectures, reusable components, and CI/CD pipelines for AI delivery.
• Produce clear technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer; support incident triage and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to engineering best practices: code reviews, testing, performance optimization, and reliability engineering.

Requirements

• Proven experience building and deploying AI solutions in production, including LLM-based applications.
• Strong hands-on experience with DocAI/document understanding (OCR, extraction, layout parsing) and building document processing pipelines.
• Solid experience implementing RAG systems end-to-end (retrieval, embeddings, vector indexing, reranking, grounding, citations).
• Experience building Agentic AI workflows (function/tool calling, orchestration frameworks, state/memory management, guardrails).
• Strong knowledge of vector databases and semantic search concepts; ability to tune for relevance, latency, and scale.
• Proficiency in Python (must have); experience with common AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain/LlamaIndex or equivalent), and API/service development (FastAPI/ReactJS).
• Strong GCP experience (Good to have) incl. GenAI capabilities, Cloud Run/GKE, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, IAM, VPC/networking basics, logging/monitoring.
• MLOps/LLMOps experience: CI/CD, model/version management, automated testing, evaluation pipelines, and production monitoring.
• Software engineering fundamentals: data structures, system design, secure coding, unit/integration testing, and performance optimization.
• Experience working in regulated environments and applying security/privacy controls (PII handling, encryption, access management) is preferred.
• Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or equivalent practical experience.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work on engaging projects with the largest international and local banks, insurance companies, payment service providers, and other key players in the industry.
