This opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of AI innovation and software engineering, enjoys solving complex technical problems, and has a proven track record of bringing AI-powered systems into production.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and architect production-grade AI applications and platforms.
• Build and evolve scalable retrieval and knowledge systems that support AI-powered experiences.
• Design and implement agent-based and multi-agent architectures to solve complex workflows and automation challenges.
• Develop backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and cloud-native infrastructure supporting AI systems.
• Architect end-to-end solutions that balance performance, scalability, reliability, and security.
• Drive technical decisions related to AI application design, orchestration, deployment, and system integration.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to deliver high-quality solutions across multiple layers of the technology stack.
• Integrate AI solutions with internal and external platforms, services, and data sources.
• Contribute to engineering standards, architecture reviews, and technical best practices.
• Mentor engineers and promote a culture of technical excellence.

Core Requirements

• Proven experience designing, building, and deploying AI-powered applications in production environments.
• Strong experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures and retrieval-based systems.
• Experience designing and implementing agent-based or multi-agent systems for real-world production use cases.
• Deep understanding of information retrieval, semantic search, knowledge systems, and AI orchestration patterns.
• Experience developing and optimizing AI workflows, including retrieval, ranking, context management, and response generation.
• Strong software architecture and distributed systems design experience.
• Advanced proficiency in Python and modern software development practices.
• Experience building backend services, APIs, and scalable cloud-native applications.
• Experience with modern frontend technologies such as React, Next.js, or similar frameworks.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and modern deployment practices.
• Understanding of security, authentication, and enterprise integration patterns.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, fast-paced environment.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience working with large-scale language models and advanced AI architectures.
• Familiarity with vector databases, hybrid search, reranking, and retrieval optimization techniques.
• Experience with AI observability, evaluation frameworks, and performance monitoring.
• Experience leading technical initiatives or mentoring engineering teams.
• Exposure to streaming, real-time systems, or high-scale distributed platforms.
