Agentic AI Engineer

About the job

About PurpleMerit

We’re a next-gen AI startup building the future of intelligent systems, and we’re looking for a hardcore Agentic AI Engineer to help us push the limits.

If you know your way around building MCP, RAG pipelines, LLM-driven applications, and autonomous agent workflows, this role is built for you. You’ll architect, deploy, and fine-tune real AI systems that don’t just run… they think, adapt, and act.

If you love experimenting with cutting-edge models, breaking bottlenecks, and turning ideas into production-ready AI, come build with us. This is where fast-paced engineering meets frontier innovation.

Let’s create the future of AI.

Experience: 2-5 year of experience.

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) systems

  which are much more than chatbots and AI pipelines using vector databases and LLMs.

• Architect and build MCP pipelines

  that connect, coordinate, and supercharge our agentic AI systems.
• Build and optimize AI/ML models for production, including training, fine‑tuning, quantization, and performance tuning.
• Deploy and maintain production‑ready AI applications using

  MLOps best practices, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes.

• Monitor your models in the wild, break them down, tune them up, and make them smarter every sprint.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to quickly build, test, and ship cutting-edge AI features in true startup speed.

Required skills and experience

• Strong Python skills and experience with ML/DL frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit‑learn, Hugging Face Transformers).
• Have designed, built, and integrated MCP.
• Practical experience with RAG systems, vector databases, or autonomous agents.
• Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, NoSQL, and vector DBs such as Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate, or Qdrant.
• Experience with cloud platforms like AWS (S3, Lambda, RDS, SageMaker), Azure, or GCP.
• Strong understanding of LLM architectures (Transformers, Encoders/Decoders, Auto‑Encoders).
• Experience deploying AI systems with MLOps, CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Deep proficiency in AI model engineering: training, fine‑tuning, optimizing, and quantizing LLMs and other deep learning models.
• Familiarity with AI/agentic frameworks such as

  LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Agno,

  or similar.
• Knowledge of custom fine‑tuning techniques:

  RLHF, LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT, etc.

• Comfortable using AI developer tools like Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini in real workflows.

Work Conditions:

• This is a full-time, Remote role (Mon–Sat, 9 AM–6 PM) designed for people who love building in a high-energy, tight-knit startup setting.
• During the probation period, candidates are required to use their own laptop; an office laptop will not be provided initially.

Culture and values

PurpleMerit is an equal-opportunity employer where difference isn’t just accepted—it’s a feature, not a bug. We bring together engineers, dreamers, tinkerers, and rebels to build AI that actually moves the world forward. Inclusivity isn’t a policy for us; it’s our core architecture
