- Implement prompt engineering, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), tool/function calling, and agent workflows.
- Deploy LLM solutions into cloud and enterprise environments with scalability and reliability.
- Build inference APIs, microservices, and CI/CD pipelines for AI applications.
- Monitor model quality, latency, cost, drift, and hallucinations in production.
- Fine-tune and enhance models using parameter-effective techniques where required.
- Optimize inference performance using caching, batching, quantization, and prompt optimization.
- Ensure security, privacy, and responsible AI guardrails in all deployments.




- Collaborate with product, platform, and engineering teams to deliver enterprise AI solutions.

Required Skills & Experience

- Strong programming skills in Python; experience with backend APIs.
- Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalent).
- Experience building RAG pipelines using vector databases.
- Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, cloud platforms, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with LLMOps / MLOps tools and monitoring systems.

Experience Level

- 5-7 years of overall software or ML engineering experience.
- 1-3+ years of hands-on experience delivering LLM or Generative AI solutions in production.

Success Expectations

- Production-grade LLM solutions running reliably at scale.
- Continuous improvement in quality, cost-effectiveness, and user outcomes.
- Reusable AI engineering patterns that accelerate enterprise AI adoption.
