Senior AI Engineer

General Summary:

The Senior AI Engineer (2–5 years' experience) is responsible for designing and implementing intelligent, scalable AI solutions with a focus on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic AI, and Modular Cognitive Processes (MCP). This role is ideal for individuals who are passionate about the latest AI advancements and eager to apply them in real-world applications. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, production-ready AI systems aligned with business goals and technical standards

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy AI-driven applications using RAG and Agentic AI frameworks.
• Build and maintain scalable data pipelines and services to support AI workflows.
• Implement RESTful APIs using Python frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Flask) for AI model integration.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business needs into AI solutions.
• Debug and optimize AI systems across the stack to ensure performance and reliability.
• Stay current with emerging AI tools, libraries, and research, and integrate them into projects.
• Contribute to the development of internal AI standards, reusable components, and best practices.
• Apply MCP principles to design modular, intelligent agents capable of autonomous decision-making.
• Work with vector databases, embeddings, and LLMs (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, Mistral) for intelligent retrieval and reasoning.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and validation of AI components using frameworks like pytest or unittest.
• Document technical designs, workflows, and research findings for internal knowledge sharing.
• Adapt quickly to evolving technologies and business requirements in a fast-paced environment.

Knowledge, Skills, and/or Abilities Required:

• 2–5 years of experience in AI/ML engineering, with at least 2 years in RAG and Agentic AI.
• Strong Python programming skills with a solid foundation in OOP and software engineering principles.
• Hands-on experience with AI frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, or Hugging Face.
• Familiarity with MCP (Modular Cognitive Processes) and their application in agent-based systems.
• Experience with REST API development and deployment.
• Proficiency in CI/CD tools and workflows (e.g., Git, Docker, Jenkins, Airflow).
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and services like S3, SageMaker, or Vertex AI.
• Understanding of vector databases (e.g., OpenSearch, Pinecone, Weaviate) and embedding techniques.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently or in a team.
• Interest in exploring and implementing cutting-edge AI tools and technologies.
• Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases and data manipulation.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Educational/Vocational/Previous Experience Recommendations:

• Bachelor/ Master degree or related field.
• 2+ years of relevant experience
