• AI System Design & Development
• Design and build production-grade GenAI systems, including:
• Multi-agent architectures
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines
• GraphRAG implementations
• Autonomous agent workflows and orchestration
• Develop and integrate AI agents with tools, APIs, and enterprise systems
• Implement MCP-based agent communication and tool-use frameworks
• Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques for reliability and performance
• Agentic AI & Evaluation
• Build and deploy multi-agent orchestration systems
• Develop and implement:
• Agent evaluation frameworks
• RAG evaluation pipelines
• Measure and optimize:
• Output quality
• Hallucination rates
• Relevance and groundedness
• Continuously improve models through evaluation-driven iteration
• Engineering & Platform Development
• Develop APIs and services using:
• Python (primary)
• .NET (preferred)
• Build scalable AI services with:
• REST APIs
• Microservices architecture
• Contribute to web-based AI applications using:
• Angular / TypeScript (preferred)
• Integrate AI systems into enterprise workflows and applications
• Cloud & Infrastructure (AWS Focus)
• Design and deploy AI solutions on AWS, leveraging:
• Lambda, S3, EC2, EKS, Glue, SNS, SQS
• Kafka-based streaming architectures
• Build scalable and secure AI pipelines using cloud-native patterns
• Implement cost-efficient and high-performance AI workloads
• DevOps & CI/CD
• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
• Integrate AI workflows into CI/CD pipelines with strong AWS integration
• Ensure:
• Automated deployment
• Testing and validation of AI systems
• Continuous monitoring and iteration
• AI Development Tooling
• Leverage modern AI development tools and ecosystems, including:
• Claude (Claude API / Claude Code)
• Cursor AI (AI-assisted development workflows)
• Build and optimize developer workflows using AI-assisted coding tools

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years of overall engineering experience
• 5+ years of hands-on AI/ML / GenAI development in production environments
• Strong experience building:
• AI agents (minimum 2+ implementations)
• GraphRAG systems (minimum 2+ implementations)
• MCP-based integrations (minimum 1+)
• Proven expertise in:
