- Develop and integrate LLM-powered applications using Python and modern GenAI frameworks.

- Design and implement RAG pipelines, including document processing, chunking, embeddings, vector search, retrieval, reranking, and response generation.

- Work with vector databases and optimize retrieval strategies for accuracy, relevance, and performance.

- Develop and orchestrate AI agents and multi-step agentic workflows for enterprise automation.

- Apply prompt engineering techniques including zero-shot, few-shot, structured prompting, and prompt optimization.

- Work with frameworks and libraries such as LangChain, Hugging Face, OpenAI, Pydantic, Pandas, and NumPy.

- Design and implement APIs and backend services using FastAPI and Python.

- Develop, evaluate, and optimize LLM and ML solutions based on accuracy, latency, reliability, scalability, and cost.

- Deploy and manage AI solutions using cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP, with hands-on exposure to services such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI/ML, Azure Functions, AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, and Lambda.

- Integrate GenAI applications with enterprise APIs, data platforms, Snowflake, databases, and business workflows.

- Lead AI PoCs and convert successful solutions into scalable, production-ready implementations.

- Define technical standards and best practices for GenAI development, model evaluation, security, and deployment.

- Collaborate with Data Science, Data Engineering, ML Engineering, Product, and business teams to translate requirements into technical solutions.

- Monitor production AI applications and proactively address performance, reliability, security, and cost issues.

- Ensure AI solutions follow appropriate security, privacy, governance, and responsible AI practices.

- Conduct technical reviews, mentor team members, and contribute to hiring, capability development, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

Required Skills & Experience :

- 6 - 8 years of overall experience, with at least 3+ years of hands-on experience in Generative AI / LLM-based solutions.

- Strong hands-on expertise in Python and AI application development.

- Strong experience with LLMs, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, and prompt engineering.

- Hands-on experience with AI agents / agentic workflows and enterprise AI automation.

- Strong experience with LangChain, OpenAI, Hugging Face, or equivalent GenAI frameworks.

- Experience building APIs and AI services using FastAPI and Pydantic.

- Good understanding of Machine Learning algorithms, model evaluation, training/inference pipelines, and MLOps concepts.

- Experience working with Azure, AWS, or GCP and deploying AI/ML solutions on cloud platforms.

- Hands-on exposure to services such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI/ML, AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, or equivalent.

- Experience integrating AI applications with enterprise APIs, databases, data platforms, and business applications.

- Strong understanding of AI system design, scalability, security, observability, and cost optimization.

- Experience leading or mentoring engineers and taking ownership of technical delivery.

- Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

Good to Have :

- Experience with Snowflake, Databricks, or enterprise data platforms.

- Experience with MLOps, model monitoring, evaluation frameworks, and AI governance.

- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD for AI application deployment.

- Experience with Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, or Google Vertex AI.

- Relevant AI/ML or cloud certifications.

- Experience delivering GenAI solutions in enterprise production environments.
