Description

As our AI practice scales, we are seeking an experienced AI Engineer to act as the senior technical authority shaping how we design and deliver next-generation AI solutions. This is a role for someone who has moved beyond building individual models to architecting entire systems: agentic platforms, LLM-powered applications, and the production infrastructure that makes them dependable at enterprise scale. You will sit at the intersection of strategy and delivery, operating across multiple client engagements simultaneously. In the early phases you will shape solutions, validate technical approaches, and translate ambiguous business problems into robust, deployable architectures. As engagements mature, you will provide the technical oversight that keeps delivery teams aligned to the original design intent. Your influence will be felt in pre-sales conversations, solution blueprints, and the technical standards that define how our practice builds. This is a hands on architectural role, not a purely advisory one. We expect you to remain close to the code, to prototype where it accelerates a decision, and to set a credible technical example for the engineers and data scientists you guide.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on engineer who can Design, build, and deploy agentic AI systems using LLMs, tool orchestration, and multi-agent workflows.
• Experience building multi-agent systems or autonomous workflows.
• Proven expertise to structurally debug the AI production issue and apply the right fix.
• Experience evaluating the Agents so that the production system remain robust.
• Develop and optimize MLOps pipelines, RAG, vector databases and retrieval strategies.
• Build robust prompt frameworks, evaluation pipelines, and guardrails for safe and reliable AI behaviour.
• Integrate LLM-based systems with enterprise APIs, data platforms, and operational systems.
• Implement observability, feedback loops, and performance monitoring for agentic systems in production..
  
  

Qualifications

To qualify for this role, you must have:

• 6-8 years of professional experience in software engineering with Agentic AI.
• ML platform engineering with 5+ years of hands-on experience with Generative AI and LLM-based systems in production environments.
• BE/B.Tech/ME/M.Tech Computer Science/IT/Electronics Engg/ Data Science/ Machine learning/AI Engineering or related field.
• Solid grounding in core data science and machine learning.
• Practical experience with LLMs and generative AI, including prompting and RAG.
• Familiarity with how AI agents are built and orchestrated.
• Strong Python and common data/ML libraries; good engineering habits.
• Clear communicator and collaborative team player.
  
  

Ideally, You'll Also Have, But Not Essential

• Exposure to cloud AI platforms, Azure a plus.
• Experience practicing MLOps and LLMOps.
• Early experience mentoring junior colleagues.
• Interest in consulting and client-facing delivery.
