About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 8 years of overall experience in software engineering, solution architecture, AI/ML engineering, or related technical roles.
  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience developing Generative AI applications and LLM-powered solutions.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and building AI agents, agentic workflows, and multi-agent applications.
  • Strong practical knowledge of large language models, retrieval-augmented generation architectures, embeddings, vector databases or vector search, prompt engineering, and tool/function calling.
  • Experience processing unstructured data, including PDFs, documents, optical character recognition outputs, images, and other enterprise content.
  • Strong Python development skills, including API development, integration patterns, debugging, and software engineering best practices.
  • Experience with AI application frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent agent orchestration technologies.
  • Familiarity with Databricks AI capabilities, particularly AI Functions, AI Search/Vector Search, Model Serving, and MLflow.
  • Experience with AI evaluation frameworks, hallucination testing, guardrails, human-in-the-loop patterns, and AI observability.
  • Ability to assess AI architecture proposals, review code and agent workflows, and provide actionable technical recommendations.
  • Experience deploying AI applications into production environments, including considerations for scalability, security, monitoring, and cost optimization.
  • Ability to explain technical concepts, trade-offs, and recommendations to enterprise clients.
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively with client stakeholders, technology partners, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with enterprise clients to understand business objectives, identify AI opportunities, and translate requirements into scalable Generative AI and agentic AI solutions.
  • Lead technical discovery sessions, architecture workshops, and solution design discussions with client stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
  • Design end-to-end AI architectures covering large language model integration, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, data processing, APIs, and enterprise system integration.
  • Develop solution blueprints, technical specifications, architecture diagrams, and implementation roadmaps aligned with client requirements and business outcomes.
  • Present technical recommendations, architectural trade-offs, and implementation strategies to technical teams and executive stakeholders.
  • Evaluate third-party and partner-proposed AI solutions, assessing architecture, agent workflows, implementation quality, scalability, and alignment with enterprise standards.
  • Design and build enterprise Generative AI applications using large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, vector search, prompt engineering, and tool/function calling.
  • Architect and implement AI agents, multi-agent systems, and agentic workflows capable of executing complex, multi-step business processes.
  • Develop intelligent workflows integrating large language models with enterprise APIs, databases, business applications, and external tools.
  • Build solutions for unstructured data processing, including document and PDF extraction, optical character recognition, image processing, classification, information retrieval, and summarization.
  • Develop and maintain high-quality Python services, API integrations, and reusable components supporting reliable AI application development.
  • Use AI development frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent technologies to implement orchestration, state management, and tool-enabled AI workflows.
  • Apply AI-assisted and specification-driven development practices to accelerate implementation while maintaining code quality, testability, and architectural consistency.
  • Design and implement AI solutions using enterprise data platforms, with familiarity across Databricks AI capabilities including AI Functions, AI Search/Vector Search, Model Serving, and MLflow.
  • Integrate structured and unstructured enterprise data into AI applications while considering data quality, access controls, governance, and security requirements.
  • Define patterns for model selection, deployment, inference, retrieval, and integration with existing enterprise technology ecosystems.
  • Collaborate with data engineering, cloud engineering, and software development teams to ensure AI solutions integrate effectively with enterprise platforms and production systems.
  • Establish evaluation strategies to measure AI solution accuracy, relevance, groundedness, hallucination rates, tool-use effectiveness, latency, and cost.
  • Implement guardrails, responsible AI controls, human-in-the-loop workflows, and fallback mechanisms to support safe and reliable enterprise AI adoption.
  • Define testing and observability practices for monitoring agent execution, model behavior, workflow performance, and production issues.
  • Review solution designs and code for quality, maintainability, scalability, security, and operational readiness.
  • Identify opportunities to optimize model selection, prompt design, retrieval strategies, inference performance, and overall operating costs.
  • Support production deployment, troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and the transition of AI solutions into sustainable enterprise operations.
