Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

Your challenges: AI Solution Development
  • Design, build, and operate agentic LLM applications with tool-use/function calling, planning, memory, and structured outputs with versioned prompts.
  • Implement RAG pipelines (hybrid dense+sparse retrieval, reranking); manage vector indices and the embedding lifecycle.
  • Integrate models with internal services and third-party APIs via tool adapters; enforce schema contracts and access controls.
  • Lead feature work in recommendation/ranking, content generation/editing, and workflow orchestration backed by measurable eval metrics.
Security & Automation
  • Build AI-driven security automations: classifiers/anomaly detectors, red-teaming harnesses, and (where appropriate) autonomous testing agents.
  • Implement safety & privacy controls: prompt-injection/jailbreak defenses, PII redaction, policy filtering, and auditability.
  • Stand up real-time tracing & alerts on token/latency/cost, retrieval degradation, drift, and hallucination risk.
Project & Task Management
  • Own model/prompt/agent versioning and ship via CI/CD with canaries/A-B, rollback plans, and clear SLOs (quality, latency, cost).
  • Evolve workflows: PR-based changes to prompts/configs, experiment tracking, concise design docs, and ADRs (decision records).
Quality Assurance & Code Review
  • Enforce evaluation-first development: golden sets, synthetic probes, regression tests for prompts, grounding/faithfulness checks.
  • Review for determinism, observability, and reproducibility; address tech debt with a bias to stability and measured impact.
Collaboration & Mentorship
  • Partner with platform/data teams on data contracts, retrieval standards, and tenancy/access control.
  • Mentor peers on agent patterns, RAG, prompt engineering, and safe rollout; lead design reviews and share practical research findings.
Continuous Improvement
  • Benchmark and integrate new model families/tools via standardized bake-offs; report quality latency cost trade-offs.
  • Optimize serving with adapters/LoRA, distillation/quantization, routing/caching/speculative decoding; right-size infra for cost/perf.
  • Track industry and research trends; convert into pragmatic, incremental stack upgrades.

Desired Candidate Profile

Requirements:

  • Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar languages.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Solid understanding of security best practices and experience with security automation is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills.
  • Experience with task management and code collaboration tools (GitHub, Jira, ClickUp, etc.).
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a fast-paced, collaborative team.
Nice to Have
