Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services for AI-powered applications.
• Design and implement production-ready Generative AI solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Design, optimize, and evaluate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) or tool-based pipelines and AI orchestration workflows, including chunking strategy, hybrid retrieval and reranking, and retrieval-quality evaluation.
• Design scalable APIs, distributed systems, and vector search solutions.
• Evaluate, integrate, and optimize foundation models for different use cases.
• Optimize AI systems for performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technical solutions and product evolution.
• Contribute to software architecture, technical documentation, and engineering best practices.
• Research and evaluate emerging AI technologies.
• Lead design reviews, define engineering standards, and mentor engineers on Generative AI best practices.

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in software development.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience designing and building Generative AI applications using Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Hands-on experience with speech and multimodal models, including speech-to-text (STT), text-to-speech (TTS), speech-to-speech, and vision-capable LLMs that process images.
• Proficiency using and building applications on top of these models, including real-time (streaming) and Completions/Responses APIs, tool calling, model deployment, and model evaluation.
• Strong experience with scalable backend systems and distributed architectures.
• Strong proficiency in Python, including asynchronous and concurrent programming for I/O-bound LLM workloads.
• Solid understanding of software engineering best practices, including design patterns, testing, and CI/CD.
• Experience with RESTful APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
• Experience building production-ready AI applications.
• Experience defining and applying structured evaluation methodologies for LLM and RAG systems (for example, retrieval and generation quality metrics).
• Knowledge of cloud-native architectures, containerization, and orchestration technologies.
• Understanding of responsible AI and security practices, including data privacy, prompt-injection defense, and safe handling of model outputs.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Fluent in English.

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on experience designing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions.
• Proficiency with LangChain, LangGraph, or LlamaIndex.
• Experience integrating foundation models such as OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, Llama, or Mistral.
• Knowledge of vector databases, including Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, or pgvector.
• Experience designing AI Agents and multi-agent systems.
• Understanding of prompt engineering, model evaluation, and AI observability.
• Proficiency with Machine Learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker, and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience working in Agile software development environments.
