Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop LLM-powered applications using agentic patterns (single/multi-agent) for business use cases
  • Build and optimise end-to-end RAG pipelines (ingestion, embeddings, retrieval, orchestration, response synthesis)
  • Implement prompt engineering and orchestration techniques (prompt chaining, tool/function calling, structured outputs)
  • Develop production-grade APIs and services (FastAPI/Flask/Streamlit) for GenAI applications
  • Integrate LLM solutions with enterprise systems, data platforms, and workflows
  • Apply guardrails and evaluation frameworks to improve response quality, reduce hallucinations, and ensure responsible AI usage
  • Collaborate with Data Engineering and MLOps teams for data pipelines, deployment, monitoring, and scaling
  • Contribute to reusable components, documentation, and engineering best practices
