This includes ingestion pipelines, retrieval systems, agent orchestration, evaluation, and deployment. You will work with modern AI frameworks and databases to build scalable, production-ready intelligent systems.

🔧 Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-quality web applications using Python, Flask, and Django
• Build and optimize RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, indexing, retrieval, reranking, grounding)
• Develop agentic workflows (tool usage, planning, guardrails, structured outputs)
• Conduct code reviews and ensure maintainable, reusable code
• Perform testing to ensure system reliability and performance
• Create and maintain technical documentation
• Collaborate on project planning, estimation, and prioritization
• Define and run evaluation frameworks (retrieval metrics, hallucination checks, answer quality)
• Deploy production systems (APIs, CI/CD, monitoring, cost optimization, security best practices)

✅ Basic Qualifications

• Strong experience in Python (Python 3) development
• Understanding of software development lifecycle and testing practices
• Knowledge of relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL)
• Experience with version control tools like Git
• Hands-on experience building RAG systems (hybrid search, reranking, embeddings, prompt design)
• Familiarity with at least one agentic framework such as:
• LangChain / LangGraph
• LlamaIndex
• Semantic Kernel
• AutoGen
• Solid understanding of vector search and experience with at least one vector database
• Strong engineering practices (testing, telemetry, secure design, reliability mindset)

🎯 Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field
• Experience with Flask or Django web frameworks
• Experience building RESTful APIs
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP
• Experience with Google Cloud Vertex AI and GCP services (IAM, Cloud Run, GKE, logging/monitoring)
• Knowledge of graph-based RAG (entity linking, traversal, retrieval fusion)
• Experience with streaming tools (Pub/Sub, Kafka) and document pipelines
• Familiarity with evaluation tools (RAGAS, TruLens) and prompt/version management
• Exposure to frontend frameworks (React, Next.js) or internal tooling

🎯 Why Join Us?

• 💼 Competitive compensation and growth opportunities
• 🌍 Visa sponsorship available
• 🤝 Collaborative and innovative team environment
• 📈 Work on cutting-edge AI and LLM systems
• 🚀 Opportunity to build production-grade agentic AI solutions.
