Your work will span Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), multi-agent LLM orchestration, auto-captioning, generative media, and content moderation. You’ll use frameworks like LangGraph, LangChain, and Google’s Agent Development Kit to build persistent, scalable AI services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This is a full-stack AI role that spans intelligent backend APIs, LLM agent orchestration, and integration with product-facing features. Responsibilities Build and deploy multi-agent AI workflows using LangGraph, LangChain, or Google’s Agent Development Kit. Implement RAG pipelines using embeddings, semantic chunking, and vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate). Integrate hosted and open-source LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Ollama, Mistral) into intelligent systems. Build REST APIs with FastAPI and internal tools with Streamlit to expose AI functionality. Deploy production-grade services on GCP using Vertex AI, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, IAM, and Pub/Sub. Embed AI into platform features such as auto-captioning, LuupForge (generative studio), feed personalization, and real-time moderation. Maintain modular, testable, observable, and secure code across the AI system lifecycle.
