AI Engineer III

Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled Generative AI Developer to join the AI Store product team as an embedded AI expert within a squad of 7–10 traditional software engineers (backend, frontend, and full-stack developers). This is not a conventional developer role — the ideal candidate will serve as the squad's single point of contact for all things AI and Generative AI: hands-on developer, internal trainer, technical guide, and implementation lead. Working under the guidance of the Generative AI Architect, the developer will translate architectural decisions into production-grade implementations, uplift team capabilities through training and mentorship, and independently drive the development of complex GenAI and Agentic AI features for enterprise-grade solutions. Key Responsibilities Act as the squad's embedded GenAI expert and single point of contact for all AI/GenAI-related decisions, implementation, and guidance. Design, develop, and optimize production-grade GenAI and Agentic AI applications, services, and pipelines in Python. Work under the GenAI Architect to interpret architectural blueprints and implement complex GenAI components, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards. Integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) — including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face, Anthropic, and Cohere — into enterprise workflows and products. Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, multi-agent orchestration systems, and Agentic AI flows. Build, maintain, and evolve APIs, automation scripts, and AI pipelines on the AIForce platform. Train and mentor squad members (backend, frontend, full-stack developers) on GenAI concepts, tools, frameworks, and best practices — enabling the broader team to actively contribute to AI feature development. Conduct LLM performance evaluation, prompt optimization, and model fine-tuning as required. Champion Safe AI, AI governance, and responsible AI development practices across the squad. Monitor, test, and troubleshoot deployed GenAI models and services in production environments. Stay current with emerging GenAI frameworks, LLM advances, and industry trends; proactively assess and introduce relevant innovations. Skill Requirements Strong proficiency in Python (3+ years), including experience building production-grade applications. Proven hands-on experience with Agentic AI and GenAI frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face Transformers, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar. Demonstrated experience designing and implementing RAG architectures, vector search pipelines, and multi-agent systems. Familiarity with LLM APIs: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and open-source models. Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Azure AI Search, FAISS, Chroma). Strong knowledge of prompt engineering, chain-of-thought techniques, and LLM evaluation/observability methods. Understanding of LLM fine-tuning approaches (RLHF, PEFT, LoRA) — practical experience will be added advantage. Knowledge of Safe AI principles, AI security, AI governance frameworks, and responsible AI development practices. Hands-on experience with developing AI solutions on any cloud platform Solid software engineering fundamentals: Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, API design. Effective communication and mentoring skills — able to explain complex AI concepts to non-AI developers clearly. Other Requirements Experience with MLOps tooling (MLflow, Azure ML Pipelines, or equivalent). Exposure to multimodal models (vision-language models, speech-to-text integration). Prior experience working as an AI champion or tech lead within a cross-functional product team. Familiarity with enterprise AI governance and compliance frameworks.
