We are partnering with a leading enterprise organization undergoing significant investment in Artificial Intelligence, Data, and Digital Innovation. They are looking for an experienced AI Engineer to design, build, and scale enterprise-grade Generative AI solutions that deliver measurable business impact.

This position will focus on developing production-ready LLM applications, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platforms, AI agents, and intelligent automation services that enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and customer engagement.

You will work at the intersection of AI, software engineering, cloud technologies, and data platforms, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to take AI products from proof-of-concept through to enterprise-scale deployment.

Responsibilities of the Role:

  • Design, develop, and deploy end-to-end Generative AI applications leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures.
  • Build scalable AI platforms, APIs, and microservices that integrate AI capabilities into enterprise systems and business workflows.
  • Develop and optimize document ingestion, processing, embedding generation, vector indexing, semantic search, and retrieval pipelines.
  • Implement prompt engineering strategies, evaluation frameworks, AI guardrails, and monitoring tools to ensure reliability, accuracy, and responsible AI adoption.
  • Design and maintain AI infrastructure, including vector databases, knowledge repositories, model serving environments, and deployment pipelines.
  • Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists, product teams, and business stakeholders to deliver AI-driven solutions aligned with business objectives.
  • Research and evaluate emerging AI technologies, open-source models, agentic frameworks, and best practices across the GenAI ecosystem.
  • Optimize system performance across retrieval quality, latency, scalability, cost efficiency, and user experience through benchmarking and experimentation.
  • Contribute to AI platform governance, security standards, compliance requirements, and responsible AI initiatives.
  • Promote engineering excellence through CI/CD practices, MLOps frameworks, and cloud-native deployment methodologies.

Required Skills for the Role:

  • Degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Engineering, Mathematics, or related discipline. Advanced qualifications are advantageous.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in AI Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, Software Engineering, Data Science, or related technical domains.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing production-scale Generative AI, LLM, RAG, or AI Agent solutions.
  • Strong programming skills in Python with solid understanding of software engineering principles, system design, testing, and API development.
  • Hands-on experience with modern AI frameworks and orchestration tools such as:
    • LangChain
    • LangGraph
    • LlamaIndex
    • Haystack
    • Semantic Kernel
  • Experience working with vector databases and semantic search technologies, including:
    • Pinecone
    • Weaviate
    • FAISS
    • Milvus
    • Chroma
  • Familiarity with leading AI ecosystems and foundation models, including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, Hugging Face, and open-source LLMs.
  • Experience designing and deploying cloud-native applications on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Knowledge of MLOps, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, Docker, and scalable model deployment architectures.
  • Exposure to AI Agents, tool orchestration, function calling, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and multi-agent systems is highly advantageous.
  • Strong SQL skills and foundational knowledge of data engineering concepts.
  • Excellent communication skills.
