Kaufman Rossin might be just the place for you!\nKaufman Rossin Professional Services Private Limited’s (the “Company”) offices are located in the World Trade Center (WTC) in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, and at Udyog Vihar, in Gurgaon, Haryana, India.\nThe Bangalore office provides a range of services, including risk management, corporate governance, tax, assurance, and family office services. Out of the Gurgaon office, we render highly specialized back-office alternative investment services for global hedge funds and related fund types. As one of the top accounting firms in the US, our foundation is “people first”. In the words of James Kaufman, one of our founders, “We prioritize our people, their development, and their well-being. Our values are translated into action every day.\"\nKaufman Rossin, headquartered in Miami, Florida has been celebrated as the Best Place to Work in South Florida more than a dozen times. The firm has grown to over 700 employees, with offices spanning the tri-county area and sister entities, Kaufman Rossin Wealth and Kaufman Rossin Alternative Investment Services.\nThe Firm is ranked 49th among the top 100 firms in the US by Inside Public Accounting 2023. Internationally, the Firm has offices in Bangalore and Haryana in India and the Ivory Coast in Africa.\nThink you have what it takes?\nKaufman Rossin is seeking an experienced AI Developer based in Bengaluru to play a central role in building KR's AI application capability on Azure. This is a full-stack AI engineering role - spanning LLM integration, RAG architecture, API development, Azure-native deployment, local/self-hosted model operations, and responsible AI implementation - with a focus on delivering real, production-grade solutions that create measurable value for KR's advisory practice and its clients.\nThe ideal candidate is deeply technical, intellectually curious, pragmatic about shipping working software, and acutely aware of the cost and security implications of every architectural decision. You will work directly from well-defined user stories, collaborate with the Azure Architect on model and infrastructure decisions, and leverage Claude Code and AI-assisted development tools as a standard part of your engineering workflow.\nRequirements\nAI Application Development\nDesign, build, and deploy scalable AI-powered applications on Azure infrastructure - including internal productivity tools for KR staff and client-facing solutions for RAS and advisory engagements.\nDevelop and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search, and Azure AI Foundry - handling document ingestion, chunking strategies, embedding generation, vector indexing, and query-time retrieval.\nBuild and maintain LLM-powered features: document intelligence, contract analysis, automated summarization, regulatory content extraction, conversational agents, and structured data extraction from unstructured sources.\nIntegrate a broad range of AI models into application workflows - including Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o, o1, o3), Anthropic Claude (via Azure or API), Meta Llama, Mistral, and other open-source models - selecting the right model for each use case based on capability, cost, latency, and data sensitivity requirements.\nStand up, configure, and maintain local/internal AI model deployments using Ollama, vLLM, or Azure AI Foundry local compute - for use cases requiring on-premises processing, data residency compliance, or cost-controlled inference at scale.\nLeverage Claude Code and other AI-assisted development tools throughout the engineering workflow - using agentic coding capabilities to accelerate development, improve code quality, generate tests, and explore solution options faster.\nArchitect multi-turn conversational interfaces and agentic workflows using Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, Semantic Kernel, or LangChain - for use cases requiring reasoning, tool use, or multi-step orchestration.\nSecurity & Responsible AI\nApply KR's AI governance framework in every build - content filtering via Azure AI Content Safety, DLP controls, usage audit logging, data sensitivity classification, and Conditional Access enforcement for AI-powered tools.\nImplement security best practices across all AI application components - Entra ID authentication, RBAC, Managed Identity for service-to-service access, secret management via Azure Key Vault, and Private Endpoint connectivity - treating security as a first-class design requirement, not an afterthought.\nImplement responsible AI practices in every deliverable - input/output validation, PII detection, content filtering, audit logging, and explainability documentation for regulated advisory contexts.\nDocument model behavior, known limitations, bias considerations, and risk mitigations for each AI feature delivered - producing responsible AI summaries that satisfy KR's governance requirements for client-facing deployments.\nImplement secure, multi-tenant data isolation patterns in AI applications - ensuring client data, internal data, and model context are correctly scoped and never cross tenant boundaries.\nCost-Conscious Architecture & FinOps\nDesign AI application architectures with cost efficiency as a first-class concern - selecting models, deployment tiers, and inference patterns that deliver the required capability at the lowest sustainable cost.\nConfigure and manage Azure AI Foundry deployments - model selection, deployment slots, token quotas, rate limiting, and cost monitoring - ensuring efficient and cost-controlled model consumption.\nEvaluate build vs. buy vs. local model decisions for each AI use case - weighing commercial API costs against self-hosted model operational costs, latency trade-offs, and data sensitivity requirements.\nIntegrate Azure Monitor and Application Insights into AI applications - instrumenting latency, token usage, error rates, and custom AI quality metrics to support ongoing cost and performance monitoring.\nProduce regular AI cost reports - token consumption by application, model cost per query, and cost-per-outcome metrics - giving IT leadership visibility into AI spend and ROI.\nAzure Infrastructure & Deployment\nDeploy AI applications and services on Azure using containerized architectures - Azure Container Apps, AKS, or Azure App Services - depending on workload requirements and scale.\nBuild and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps for AI application workloads - automating build, test, security scan, and deployment stages through to production.\nImplement API layers for AI capabilities using Azure API Management, Azure Functions, or FastAPI - exposing AI features to front-end applications and internal integrations in a secure, versioned, and observable way.\nApply infrastructure-as-code practices (Bicep or Terraform) for AI service provisioning - ensuring environments are reproducible, auditable, and aligned with KR's Azure landing zone governance.\nData & Integration\nBuild data ingestion and preprocessing pipelines that prepare structured and unstructured data for AI consumption - document parsing (PDF, Word, Excel), OCR via Azure AI Document Intelligence, and schema normalization.\nIntegrate AI features with KR's enterprise data sources and application ecosystem - Azure Data Lake Storage, APIs, and internal platforms - through well-designed, maintainable integration layers.\nPartner with KR's Architecture team on data flow design, storage tier selection, and retrieval performance optimization for knowledge bases and document stores.\nCollaboration & Delivery\nWork directly from user stories, acceptance criteria, and BA specifications - asking clarifying questions proactively and flagging technical constraints or cost implications early rather than late.\nParticipate actively in sprint ceremonies - planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives - contributing estimates, surfacing blockers, and demoing completed AI features to business stakeholders with clear, non-technical explanations.\nCollaborate with KR's Architecture team on architectural decisions, design reviews, model selection, and cost/security trade-offs.\nProduce and maintain clear technical documentation: API references, architecture decision records (ADRs), deployment runbooks, and model integration guides - so every feature is maintainable beyond the original developer.\nMentor junior developers on AI development patterns, Azure service usage, cost optimization, and responsible AI practices.\nWhat Skills You’ll Bring:\nRequired\n3+ years of hands-on software development, with at least 2 years focused on AI/ML application development in a production environment.\nDemonstrated experience building production applications with LLMs across multiple model families - OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, Mistral, or similar.\nHands-on experience building RAG pipelines - document ingestion, embeddings, vector search, chunking strategies, and retrieval optimisation.\nExperience standing up and operating local or self-hosted AI model deployments (Ollama, vLLM, LocalAI, or equivalent).\nExperience using Claude Code or equivalent AI-assisted development tooling as part of everyday engineering workflow.\nPython proficiency - FastAPI or Flask, async patterns, and data processing libraries.\nHands-on experience with Azure AI services - Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search, Azure AI Document Intelligence, and/or Azure AI Foundry.\nFamiliarity with orchestration frameworks -
