AI Engineer (Backend) - Python

We are building the next generation of AI-powered applications that deliver actionable financial and marketing insights to our clients. As an AI Engineer focused on backend development, you'll be instrumental in designing and developing multiple agentic AI applications that integrate with data lakehouses and business intelligence platforms. This is not a single-project role. You'll work on a pipeline of AI-driven solutions across various use cases, all built on a common architecture leveraging cutting-edge LLM technologies, agentic frameworks, and cloud infrastructure.

 What You'll Build

• Agentic chatbot applications Agentic chatbot applications with conversational UI for financial and marketing insights
• RAG-based systems RAG-based systems that intelligently retrieve and synthesize information from enterprise data sources
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations for tool calling and external system interactions
• Real-time visualization generation Real-time visualization generation including graphs, charts, and dynamic dashboards
• Sandboxed code execution environments Sandboxed code execution environments for safe AI-generated code runs
• LLM benchmarking systems LLM benchmarking systems to evaluate and switch between models (AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry) as new versions emerge
• Data integration pipelines Data integration pipelines connecting to SQL-based data lakehouses and Tableau dashboards

Key Responsibilities

Development

• Design and develop Python backend services using FastAPI FastAPI for AI-powered applications
• Implement agentic workflows using LangChain LangChain and/or Azure AI agentic frameworks like AutoGen Azure AI agentic frameworks like AutoGen
• Build and maintain RAG systems for context-aware AI responses
• Develop MCP servers and integrations for tool calling and external API interactions
• Create sandboxed execution environments for AI-generated code and visualizations

Data & SQL

• Write efficient SQL queries against data lakehouses to retrieve business insights
• Integrate with Tableau dashboards and other BI platforms
• Optimize data retrieval patterns for LLM context windows

AI/ML Operations

• Build benchmarking systems to evaluate LLM performance across different models and providers Implement model switching logic to automatically use the most efficient/effective LLM
• Monitor and optimize token usage, costs, and response latency
• Work with AWS Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry for model deployment

DevOps & Deployment

• Containerize applications using Docker
• Deploy and manage services in Kubernetes (K8s) clusters
• Build and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment
• Ensure scalability, reliability, and security of production systems

Collaboration

• Work directly with US-based clients to understand requirements and deliver solutions
• Collaborate with frontend developers (React), data engineers, and architects
• Participate in technical design discussions and architectural decisions
• Document code, APIs, and system architecture clearly

Required Qualifications

Technical Skills
