WHO YOU ARE: 

Generative AI Engineer will be responsible to design, build, and operate production LLM systems—RAG services, eval/guardrail pipelines, and API integrations—used across the enterprise.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:  

• Own backend services for GenAI features (Python/FastAPI or TypeScript/Node), from design to production.
• Build RAG pipelines end-to-end: chunking, embeddings, vector indexes, retrieval, reranking, grounding, and response synthesis.
• Build/extend MCP integrations for major internal applications and APIs.
• Implement LLM evaluation & guardrails: prompt/unit evals, Ragas, Langfuse, LangSmith, A/B tests, hallucination & safety checks, feedback loops.
• Stand up LLMOps/MLOps: CI/CD for models & prompts, dataset/version management, feature stores, tracing, monitoring, and cost controls.
• Create SDKs/REST/GraphQL integrations with internal systems; handle auth (OAuth/JWT), rate limits, retries, and backoff.
• Drive observability (metrics, tracing, logs), SLOs, and incident response; partner with SRE for reliability.
• Collaborate with product and security on requirements, data governance, and privacy-by-design.
• Mentor peers; raise code quality through reviews, design docs, and reusable components.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• Total 5-9 years of experience is required.
• Backend strength: Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, async) or TypeScript/Node (Express/Fastify/Next API routes); testing (pytest/jest), Git/PR hygiene, CI/CD.
• GenAI hands-on: LLM prompting/tool use, context management, streaming, and at least one RAG system taken to production (or a rigorous POC with metrics).
• Vector search: FAISS/pgvector/Pinecone/Weaviate/Milvus/Qdrant; embeddings pipelines; caching & cold-start strategies.
• Ops for AI: Practical MLOps/LLMOps/AIOps—model/prompt versioning, data contracts, evaluation harnesses, cost/perf monitoring, rollbacks.
• Cloud & infra: Docker, Kubernetes (or serverless), one major cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), secrets management, IaC basics.
• Security & governance: PII handling, RBAC, audit trails, and least-privilege design.

 Nice to have

• LangChain/LlamaIndex/LangGraph, Agentic AI, OpenAI/Azure, Gemini, OpenAI/Bedrock/Vertex SDKs; MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools/adapters.
• Retrieval enhancements: hybrid search, re-rankers, prompt caching, toolformer/function calling.
• Data systems: PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka/SQS; batch & streaming pipelines.
• Observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana; latency/cost optimization.
• Basic frontend for internal tools (React/Next.js) to wire quick admin consoles.
