With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.\nAbout the role:\nAs a Senior Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Engineer, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow.\nWe are seeking a Senior AI/ML Engineer to architect, build, and deploy end-to-end, LLM-powered agentic AI solutions for complex production use cases. In this role, you will lead the design and execution of autonomous multi-agent systems, high-accuracy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and advanced prompt engineering architectures.\nYou will bridge applied machine learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and robust backend engineering to move autonomous systems from experimental prototypes into reliable, observable, and enterprise-grade production environments.\nResponsibilities:\nAgentic AI & Multi-Agent Orchestration\nAutonomous Workflows: Architect, evaluate, and deploy multi-agent coordination frameworks using LangGraph, LangChain, or CrewAI to solve complex, non-deterministic business workflows\nAgent Capabilities: Design structured planning, self-correction/reflection loops, tool-calling mechanisms, memory management, and dynamic routing architectures\nPrompt Engineering & Alignment: Develop advanced prompt engineering strategies (e.g., Chain-of-Thought, ReAct, directional stimulus prompting, few-shot conditioning) ensuring low latency, structured JSON outputs, and guardrails against hallucination\nRAG & Information Retrieval Architecture\nAdvanced RAG Pipelines: Design, benchmark, and optimize enterprise-grade RAG systems implementing semantic search, hybrid retrieval (dense + sparse keyword matching), re-ranking, contextual chunking, and query decomposition\nVector Data Engineering: Configure, scale, and manage vector databases (e.g., Milvus, Pinecone, Qdrant, Chroma, PGVector, or AWS OpenSearch) for high-dimensional embedding retrieval\nNLP & Embeddings: Benchmark, fine-tune, or calibrate state-of-the-art embedding models, tokenizers, and domain-adapted text representation pipelines\nProductionization, MLOps & LLM Observability\nLLM Evaluation & Observability: Establish rigorous evaluation frameworks (groundedness, context relevance, faithfulness) and trace agent executions using platforms such as LangSmith, Langfuse, or TruLens\nSystem Design & API Integration: Collaborate on clean system design to serve agentic workflows via modern backend interfaces and microservices\nContinuous Improvement: Implement automated testing suites to evaluate model drift, prompt regression, and agent task completion reliability across model upgrades\nRequirements:\nCore Experience: 5+ years of total software/machine learning engineering experience, with at least 2 years of focused, hands-on experience building and deploying Generative AI and LLM applications in production\nProgramming & CS Foundations: Advanced proficiency in Python (async programming, data structures, profiling, and package ecosystems)\nGenerative AI & NLP: Deep hands-on experience with modern LLM APIs, foundation model ecosystems, transformer architectures, and classical NLP techniques\nAgent Orchestration Frameworks: Proven production track record using LangGraph, LangChain, or CrewAI to build multi-step, tool-augmented, or stateful agent systems\nRAG & Vector Search: Strong working knowledge of indexing, embedding generation, chunking strategies, and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Qdrant, OpenSearch, PGVector)\nPrompt Engineering: Demonstrated expertise in production-grade prompt templates, few-shot prompting, output parsing, schema enforcement (Pydantic), and safety guardrails\nDesirable:\nBackend & System Design: Experience building microservices and RESTful/streaming endpoints using FastAPI or modern async frameworks\nLLMOps & Tracing: Practical experience with evaluation and tracing suites like LangSmith, Langfuse, Arize Phoenix, or OpenTelemetry\nCloud & DevOps: Familiarity with AWS services (e.g., Bedrock, SageMaker, ECS, Lambda, S3), containerization with Docker, and orchestration with Kubernetes\nSoftware Quality & CI/CD: Experience building automated CI/CD pipelines, static code analysis, and testing frameworks (pytest)\nEducation: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field\nOpportunity to build cutting-edge agentic AI systems that drive measurable real-world outcomes\nCollaborative engineering culture focused on modern AI paradigms, autonomous agents, and production experimentation\nCompetitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and dedicated support for continuous technical upskilling and AI certifications\nWhat’s in it for you?\nStrong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment\nGrowth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise\nTailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications\nEndless opportunities: Explore diverse domains through internal mobility, finding the best fit to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies\nCare: We’ve got you covered with company-paid medical insurance, mental health support, and financial & legal consultations\nAbout us:\nAt Ciklum, we are always exploring innovations, empowering each other to achieve more, and engineering solutions that matter. With us, you’ll work with cutting-edge technologies, contribute to impactful projects, and be part of a One Team culture that values collaboration and progress.\nIndia is a strategic innovation hub for Ciklum, with growing teams in Chennai and Pune leading advancements in EdgeTech, AR/VR, IoT, and beyond.
