Role Summary
We are looking for a hands-on Senior AI/ML Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade Agentic AI and Generative AI solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Agentic system design: Architect and build single- and multi-agent systems with planning, tool use, memory, reflection, and human-in-the-loop controls for complex business workflows.
LLM implementation: Integrate and optimize LLMs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, Llama, Mistral) via APIs
RAG pipelines: Design retrieval-augmented generation solutions, including chunking, embeddings, hybrid search, re-ranking, and vector database management.
Tool and integration layer: Implement function/tool calling and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to connect agents with enterprise systems, APIs, and data sources.
Prompt and context engineering: Develop robust prompts, system instructions, structured outputs, and context-management strategies (including prompt caching) to maximize quality and cost efficiency.
Evaluation and observability: Build evaluation frameworks (golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, regression testing) and monitor agents for accuracy, latency, cost, hallucination, and drift.
Leadership: Mentor junior engineers, conduct code and design reviews, contribute to reusable accelerators, and support pre-sales technical discussions and PoCs.

Proven experience building AI agents using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, Claude Agent SDK.
Working knowledge of MCP, tool/function calling, and multi-agent orchestration patterns (planner-executor, supervisor, router, reflection).
Solid understanding of embeddings, vector databases (Pinecone, FAISS, Chroma) and search relevance tuning.
Experience with fine-tuning open-source models, and inference serving Ollama.
Collaboration with data engineers, product owners, architects, and client teams.
