- Work Mode: Remote

- Location: Offshore

- Total Experience Required: 6 to 10 years

- Mandatory Certification: Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Database Engineer, AWS Certified Data Analytics - Specialty, or Databricks Certified Data Engineer Qualified

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Context Window Optimization / RAG Architect to take full ownership of our enterprise generative AI retrieval performance, accuracy, and operational cost metrics. The ideal candidate will design high-throughput knowledge retrieval systems, optimize semantic context parsing, build custom re-ranking pipelines, and engineer caching grids to deliver data-grounded AI responses with minimal latency and maximum token efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

- Architect end-to-end advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, building structures for document parsing, semantic metadata enrichment, and multi-vector lookups.

- Optimize context window utilization patterns, designing smart parent-child chunking models, sentence-window retrievals, and sliding window strategies to eliminate irrelevant text tokens.

- Build high-performance re-ranking layers, deploying machine learning cross-encoders (e.g., Cohere Rerank, BGE-Reranker) to score retrieved documents before feeding them into the LLM context pool.

- Implement automated semantic caching architectures, utilizing caching layers (e.g., GPTCache)



to capture recurring semantic queries, reducing API token expenditures and response latencies.

- Establish automated data chunking pipelines, configuring ingestion routines to cleanly parse semi-structured and unstructured formats (PDFs, corporate wikis, SQL outputs) into clean vector targets.

- Govern vector similarity spaces, fine-tuning hybrid search algorithms that cleanly combine dense semantic embeddings with sparse keyword token indexes (BM25).

- Audit context-level hallucination rates and accuracy logs, tracking precision metrics, retrieval recall bounds, and processing speeds to systematically eliminate incorrect model generations.

Requirements

- 6 to 10 years of enterprise data engineering, database design, or search engine engineering experience, with 3+ dedicated years actively scaling context retrieval loops for live LLM applications.

- Strong technical mastery of Python, vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate), text embedding models, open-source orchestration tools (LlamaIndex, LangChain), and SQL.

- Deep structural understanding of context window limitations ("lost in the middle" phenomenon), multi-modal token dynamics, network data transfer speeds, and cloud memory spaces.

- Mandatory certification: Professional Cloud Data/Database Engineer or Specialty Analytics credential from a major cloud vendor (AWS/GCP/Azure).

Preferred Qualifications

- Prior experience implementing Graph RAG frameworks utilizing native knowledge graphs (e.g., Neo4j) to map complex corporate data relationship networks.

- Familiarity with fine-tuning open-source text embedding models specifically optimized for industry-specific terminology or legacy product schemas.
