Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop LLM-based solutions for business use cases (e.g., chatbots, summarisation, document intelligence).
  • Build and optimise RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipelines including data ingestion, embeddings, and retrieval.
  • Implement prompt engineering techniques (prompt design, chaining, optimisation).
  • Develop backend services/APIs for AI applications using Python frameworks (FastAPI / Flask / Streamlit)
  • Integrate LLM solutions with enterprise systems and structured/unstructured data sources.
  • Apply basic guardrails and evaluation techniques to improve response quality and reduce hallucinations.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure data quality, model performance, and deployment readiness
  • Document solutions and contribute to reusable components and best practices.

Must-Have Skills

Experience

  • 2–4 years total experience, with exposure to AI/ML, NLP, or Data Engineering projects
