  • Drive prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and continual performance improvements of AI agents.

  • Ensure AI safety by implementing monitoring, observability, and risk mitigation strategies.

  • Mentor and support junior engineers, reviewing code and sharing best practices.

  • Oversee cloud infrastructure, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure scalable, reliable deployments.

 

 

What You Should Bring

 

  • Deep expertise in Python and AI/ML system development with a strong focus on autonomous agents.

  • Hands-on experience with LLM APIs such as OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini.

  • Proficiency with agent frameworks like LangChain, AutoGPT, or CrewAI.

  • Strong knowledge of vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone) and embedding models.

  • Skilled in prompt engineering and designing multi-agent workflows.

  • Product mindset with focus on real-world impact and usability.

  • Proven leadership experience including mentoring and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

  • Commitment to AI safety, reliability, and ethical considerations.

  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, especially when dealing with unpredictable model outputs or complex agent behavior.

  • Attention to detail around safety and reliability, including awareness of risks like prompt injection, hallucination, and misuse.

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across multiple teams.

  • A proactive, growth-oriented mindset with a high level of intellectual curiosity.

  • Solid understanding of SDLC, CI/CD, and agile methodologies.

  • Commitment to writing secure, performant, and accessible code.

 

Required Skills

  • Advanced Python programming skills for AI/ML applications.

  • Extensive experience with LLM APIs and agentic AI frameworks.

  • Expertise in vector databases and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

  • Mastery of prompt engineering techniques: few-shot, CoT, and function calling.

  • Experience integrating external tools and APIs into AI agents.

  • Knowledge of web frameworks like FastAPI or Flask.

  • Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).

  • Strong debugging, logging, and monitoring skills for AI systems.

  • Excellent communication and leadership capabilities.

 

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with reinforcement learning or multi-agent systems.

  • Background in fine-tuning LLMs or prompt tuning at scale.

  • Contributions to open-source AI projects or published research.

  • Familiarity with AI safety frameworks and bias mitigation strategies.

  • Proficiency with experiment tracking tools like Weights & Biases or LangSmith.

 

AI-Enhanced Development

  • Leverage AI tools like GitHub Copilot to accelerate development workflows, improve code quality, and reduce boilerplate.

  • Demonstrate proficiency in prompt engineering to effectively guide AI tools in generating optimal and context-aware code solutions.

  • Use AI-assisted pair programming to support rapid prototyping, test case generation, and debugging.

  • Stay informed about the evolving landscape of AI-powered development tools and integrate best practices into day-to-day engineering work.

    • Encourage and mentor team members on responsible and secure use of AI in the software development lifecycle.
