Your Future Employer

A technology-driven organization building and deploying production-grade AI and Agentic AI solutions for enterprise customers.

Responsibilities

Design, build and deploy production AI systems using Agentic AI, RAG, orchestration, tool/function calling and multi-step workflows.

Own end-to-end customer delivery from discovery and solution architecture through deployment, rollout, iteration and operational readiness.

Operationalize AI systems for scale by establishing evaluation, monitoring and deployment frameworks and implementing reliability patterns such as retries, fallbacks, idempotency and safe failure modes.

Partner with AI Engineers, Platform and Research teams to translate real-world customer requirements into scalable solutions and provide deployment feedback to strengthen AI platforms.

Drive customer and executive engagement by communicating architecture, risks, trade-offs, scope, reliability, speed and cost clearly while ensuring successful transition to long-term operational ownership.





Requirements

5+ years of experience in software engineering, architecture or technical delivery, with a robust track record of shipping production systems.

Demonstrated experience in customer-embedded delivery, taking enterprise solutions from discovery through deployment.

Strong hands-on experience in backend and integration engineering, including APIs, services, data integrations and production debugging.

Experience building LLM applications using RAG, tool calling, orchestration and evaluation/quality gates.

Strong experience with production deployment practices and cloud environments, including CI/CD, containers, AWS/Azure/GCP, along with security and privacy fundamentals.

What is in it for you?

Build and deploy production-grade AI systems in real enterprise customer environments.

Work hands-on with Agentic AI, LLM applications, RAG and AI orchestration.

Own the complete journey from customer discovery to production deployment.

Solve complex, ambiguous customer problems while making real architectural decisions.

Work closely with AI Engineers, Platform and Research teams to shape scalable AI products and accelerators.





Drive measurable customer adoption and business impact rather than simply delivering technical solutions.
