AI / LLM Engineer

Job description

* Minimum 7--10 years of experience in software engineering, AI/ML engineering, applied ML, data science engineering or related roles. * Strong hands-on Python programming experience and practical exposure to LLM-based application development. * Experience with RAG, vector databases, embeddings, prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks and AI service integration. * Experience with frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI or equivalent tools. * Working knowledge of REST APIs, microservices, SQL, structured data concepts, Git workflows, testing and software engineering practices. * Understanding of document extraction, semantic search, NLP, retrieval quality, hallucination risk, prompt safety and AI evaluation methods. * Ability to build production-oriented AI components rather than isolated proof-of-concept demos. * Design and implement LLM-powered workflows for summarization, narrative generation, classification, extraction, contextual reasoning, explanation and reviewer-assist use cases. * Build retrieval-augmented generation pipelines including document ingestion, chunking, embedding generation, metadata tagging, vector indexing, retrieval tuning and grounded response generation. * Develop reusable prompt templates, prompt versions, context builders, response schemas, evaluation routines and AI orchestration services. * Integrate with enterprise AI services such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, OpenAI APIs, Google Gemini, Anthropic, Hugging Face or equivalent approved platforms. * Implement AI run logging, prompt/model metadata capture, evidence citations, output traceability, reviewer feedback capture and human-in-the-loop controls. * Build AI evaluation routines for answer quality, retrieval quality, hallucination checks, regression testing, consistency and groundedness. * Collaborate with backend and DevOps teams to containerize AI services, deploy them securely, monitor usage, track costs and troubleshoot production issues. * Support responsible AI practices such as prompt injection checks, data leakage prevention, policy-based guardrails and AI output validation. * Experience with Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Search, Azure Document Intelligence, Google AI Studio/Gemini, AWS Bedrock or Vertex AI. * Exposure to RAG evaluation tools such as RAGAS, DeepEval, Promptfoo, LangSmith or equivalent frameworks. * Experience with AI governance, prompt/model registry, AI audit logs, explainability, groundedness checks and human review workflows.
