JOB DESCRIPTION
- Seeking an experienced Senior AI/ML Engineer specialized in Generative AI and Agentic Systems.
- Role focuses on the end-to-end design, development, optimization, and deployment of autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents.
- Architect multi-agent orchestration systems, design enterprise-grade Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and implement production-ready MLOps infrastructure utilizing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and containerized environments.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design, develop, and deploy autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents utilizing leading frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or Google's Agent Development Kit/Vertex AI Agent Builder to automate and optimize enterprise business processes.
- Architect complex multi-agent systems, establishing robust orchestration patterns, task decomposition methods, cognitive planning loops, and inter-agent communication protocols like Model Context Protocol, function-calling, and structured tool execution.
- Build, secure, and maintain integrations between AI agents and external enterprise systems, APIs (REST/GraphQL), databases, and Google Cloud services such as BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, and Vertex AI APIs.
- Implement advanced memory management paradigms including short-term, long-term, episodic, and semantic memory to maintain context, state, and historical execution metadata across user sessions.
- Author, test, and optimize advanced prompt templates and system instructions while establishing and maintaining reusable prompt libraries to ensure deterministic, safe, and repeatable agent behaviors.
- Evaluate, select, and fine-tune foundation models such as Gemini or other open-source/proprietary models via Vertex AI Model Garden to balance model capability, execution latency, and API inference costs.
- Design and optimize high-throughput, low-latency RAG pipelines, ensuring clean document ingestion, smart text chunking (semantic/character-based), and high-quality embedding generation.
- Integrate and manage scalable vector databases such as Vertex AI Vector Search, AlloyDB, or similar vector stores to ground AI agent responses in verified enterprise knowledge.
- Analyze, clean,
and pre-process complex structured and unstructured data sources to optimize model ingestion and ensure efficient data access.
- Write, test, and maintain declarative Infrastructure as Code scripts using Terraform to provision secure GCP environments, including GKE clusters, Cloud Run services, Vertex AI endpoints, storage buckets, and networking components.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Cloud Build, GitLab CI, or Jenkins for automated testing, container building, and seamless multi-environment deployment of agent configurations, prompt files, and backend tools.
- Package application code, agents, and dependencies into secure Docker containers, orchestrating deployments on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or deploying serverless workflows via Cloud Run.
- Configure, schedule, and maintain workflow orchestrators such as Vertex AI Pipelines or Cloud Composer/Airflow to automate scheduled agent evaluation cycles, model fine-tuning, and data ingestion processes.
- Establish comprehensive evaluation metrics and testing pipelines to measure task completion rates, reasoning depth, tool-calling precision, latency, token consumption, and hallucination rates utilizing LLM-as-a-judge and Vertex AI evaluation tools.
- Implement robust input/output content filtering, moderation tools, grounding validators, prompt-injection defenses, data privacy checks, and human-in-the-loop approval gates.
- Implement production monitoring, logging, distributed tracing, and real-time alerting using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, Cloud Trace, Prometheus, Grafana, or dedicated LLM observability tools like LangSmith.
- Continually audit and optimize agent workflows, model parameters, caching strategies, and underlying infrastructure to maximize cost-efficiency and performance under high loads.
- Adhere to strict version control standards using Git, managing branching, pull requests,
and code review workflows for code, prompts, Dockerfiles, and Terraform scripts.
- Partner closely with Data Scientists, Software Engineers, and business units to translate complex operational requirements into scalable production-grade AI solutions.
- Maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including system architecture diagrams, agent flowcharts, tool definitions, prompt engineering strategies, containerization guidelines, and standard operating procedures.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in Machine Learning or AI Engineering with a strong foundation in MLOps practices.
- At least 1 to 2 years of hands-on experience specifically designing and implementing LLM-based, generative AI, or agentic systems in production.
- Expert-level Python programming skills and experience with standard machine learning libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn.
- Strong theoretical and practical understanding of deep learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Transformer architectures.
- Hands-on experience using agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or Vertex AI Agent Builder.
- Proven experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and container services including Docker, Kubernetes/GKE, Cloud Run, and Cloud Functions.
- Proven experience working with vector indexing, semantic search, and databases like Vertex AI Vector Search, AlloyDB, or equivalents.
- Solid understanding of database systems (SQL/NoSQL) and building or consuming REST and GraphQL APIs.
- Experience with Terraform, Git, and automated CI/CD tools like Cloud Build, GitLab CI, or Jenkins.
- Experience setting up monitoring solutions such as Prometheus, Cloud Logging, or LangSmith, and evaluating LLM outputs for quality and safety.
- Excellent troubleshooting, debugging, and analytical skills for diagnosing complex agent behavior, tool failures, and infrastructure bottlenecks.
- Exceptional cooperative and communication skills to effectively translate complex technical constraints to cross-functional stakeholders.
- GCP Professional Machine Learning Engineer or Google Professional Cloud Architect certifications are highly desired.
