As a permanent office-based team member, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional software architects and product owners to integrate intelligence directly into enterprise systems.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Agentic System Architecture: Design, build, and optimize robust autonomous AI agents and multi-agent systems utilizing frameworks like LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI to execute sophisticated workflows.
LLM Customization & Engineering: Select, fine-tune, prompt-engineer, and deploy state-of-the-art open-source and proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs) specialized for complex reasoning and workflow tasks.
ML Pipeline Development: Build, scale, and maintain end-to-end Machine Learning pipelines, including data pre-processing, feature engineering, model training, validation, and real-time inference serving.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Architect and fine-tune scalable RAG architectures integrated with vector databases to provide contextually accurate knowledge injection for production agents.
Performance Optimization: Monitor, evaluate, and optimize the execution latency, cost, and accuracy of AI agents and foundational models in production environments.
On-Site Collaboration: Drive cross-functional engineering excellence within the office workspace, mentoring junior developers and establishing technical best practices for reproducible AI codebases.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS
Experience: 5 to 8 years of professional experience delivering machine learning software and production systems.
Core AI/ML Expertise: Deep comprehension of machine learning theory, neural network architectures, NLP techniques, and data structures.
Agentic AI Experience: Demonstrated hands-on experience designing production-grade autonomous AI agents that handle multi-step planning, tool invocation, reflection, and state management.
LLM Ecosystem: Expert proficiency in prompt engineering frameworks, fine-tuning libraries, and orchestration toolkits (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex).
Technical Stack: Exceptional programming skills in Python alongside standard ML libraries (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn, Hugging Face, Pandas).
Data Infrastructure: Practical experience with vector stores (such as Pinecone, Milvus, Qdrant, or Chroma) and relational/non-relational database management.
Education:
Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a closely related quantitative field.
PREFERRED ATTRIBUTES
Strong publication record or active public open-source contributions to LLM/Agentic tooling frameworks.
Experience deploying containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes within cloud-native
infrastructures (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Ability to join immediately or within a short notice period.
