Reporting to our Principal AI Engineer, you will take technical ownership of complex AI workstreams, mentor more junior engineers, and help shape NowVertical’s AI platform strategy.\nThis is a deeply hands-on role. You will architect and ship production-grade AI systems-multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, tool-augmented reasoning workflows-while working across GCP, Azure, and AWS. We value versatile engineers who can navigate multiple frameworks and cloud environments to build resilient, observable, and scalable AI applications.\nRequirements\nWhat you will do...\n1. Agentic AI & Multi-Agent Systems\nLead the implementation of multi-agent systems using Google AI SDKs (Vertex AI Agent Builder), LangGraph, CrewAI, and other emerging orchestration frameworks.\nDesign and build stateful, tool-augmented agents capable of advanced reasoning, long-term planning, and autonomous execution.\nDevelop and document agent orchestration patterns including planner-executor, supervisor-worker, and hierarchical agent structures.\nImplement sophisticated memory systems (short-term, long-term, and cross-session contextual memory).\nEnable seamless cross-agent communication and multi-modal coordination.\n2. LLM Applications & Orchestration\nLead the delivery of production-grade LLM applications: RAG pipelines, specialised agents, and developer copilots.\nIntegrate diverse tools, enterprise APIs, and legacy systems into agentic workflows.\nDesign robust system prompts, dynamic routing logic, and AI guardrails using Vertex AI Model Garden or Azure AI Studio.\nDrive optimisation of AI workflows for latency, token cost, and output quality.\n3. Platform & API Development\nDevelop and own reusable AI microservices, agent frameworks, and standardised APIs.\nContribute to core AI platform capabilities including model routing, centralised observability, and safety filters.\nDefine and enforce engineering standards and best practices for AI development across the team.\n4. Cloud Deployment & Production Systems\nDeploy and manage agent-based systems on GCP, Azure, and/or AWS using Docker, Kubernetes (GKE/AKS/EKS), and Cloud Run.\nImplement comprehensive monitoring and observability using Vertex AI Inspector, LangSmith, or Azure Monitor.\nDrive incident response and post-mortems for production AI system failures.\n5. Technical Leadership & Mentoring\nAct as a technical lead on key AI engineering workstreams, shaping architecture and approach.\nMentor and support more junior AI engineers through code review, design discussions, and pair programming.\nCollaborate with Principal AI Engineer and cross-functional teams (data, product, delivery) to align AI engineering with business outcomes.\nStay at the forefront of the rapidly evolving agentic AI landscape and bring new approaches into the team.\n Qualification & Skills:\nCore AI Expertise (Required)\n5-8 years of software engineering experience with at least 3 years focused on LLM-based or AI systems in production.\nProven track record building and shipping RAG pipelines, autonomous agents, and multi-step reasoning chains.\nStrong hands-on experience with Google AI SDKs, Vertex AI, and/or Azure AI services.\nDeep proficiency in orchestration stacks: LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, Haystack, or comparable frameworks.\nExpert-level Python; strong backend development skills (FastAPI, Go, or Node.js).\nAgentic & Systems Thinking (Required)\nDeep understanding of agent design patterns: planning, reflection, memory, and tool-use.\nExperience integrating complex enterprise APIs and event-driven systems into agentic workflows.\nProven ability to trace, debug, and improve non-deterministic, multi-step AI reasoning pipelines.\nStrong instinct for building resilient, observable, and production-ready AI systems.\nCloud & DevOps (Required)\nStrong familiarity with GCP and/or Azure core services: GKE, Cloud Run, Azure AI services.\nInfrastructure as Code: Terraform or Pulumi.\nCI/CD: experience building automated evaluation and deployment pipelines for AI models.\nData Engineering (Required)\nVector databases: Vertex AI Vector Search, Azure AI Search, Pinecone, or Weaviate.\nData pipelines: BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Azure Synapse.\nETL/ELT experience preparing unstructured data for RAG and fine-tuning.\nWhat we are looking for...\nEngineers who view LLMs as components within a larger system-not just standalone models-and who think carefully about architecture, reliability, and cost.\nA senior mindset: someone who takes ownership, drives outcomes, and elevates the engineers around them.\nA strong bias toward production-ready, resilient, and observable AI applications.\nGenuine passion for the rapidly evolving landscape of agentic AI and next-generation software architectures.\nComfortable working across cloud platforms and navigating ambiguity in a fast-moving consultancy environment.\nBenefits\nCompetitive base salary + performance incentives \nComprehensive benefits structure \nExposure to global clients, cutting-edge AI projects, and a fast-growing AI practice \nOngoing learning and development support","description_format":"text","description_chars":6038,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Analytics & BI Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-18T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.391,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":106,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nowvertical-senior-ai-engineer-india","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nowvertical-senior-ai-engineer-india.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T16:42:00Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23581,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7966},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7966"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnowvertical-senior-ai-engineer-india"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnowvertical-senior-ai-engineer-india"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnowvertical-senior-ai-engineer-india"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nowvertical-senior-ai-engineer-india\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnowvertical-senior-ai-engineer-india"}]}
