AI Software Engineer

We are looking for an AI Software Engineer to join our development team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional software engineering and artificial intelligence. You will not focus on training foundational models from scratch. Instead, you will integrate, orchestrate, and scale AI-driven capabilities—such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and semantic search—into production-grade enterprise software.
 

The ideal candidate has worked in an agile Scrum environment, is familiar with writing SaaS applications on a PaaS platform in Microsoft Azure and has business domain experience in e-commerce and related back-office functions.​ 

 

Responsibilities

• AI Application Integration: Embed pre-trained foundational models (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source models) into web and enterprise applications using APIs and microservices.
• Context & Data Pipelines: Design and maintain Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, semantic search layers, and vector data workflows.
• Orchestration & Agents: Construct multi-step AI orchestration chains, agentic workflows, and automated self-repairing coding harnesses.
• AI Evaluations & Testing: Build automated evaluation frameworks to quantify AI accuracy, minimize model hallucination, and run error metrics.
• Backend Development: Write production-ready backend code, design robust RESTful APIs, and manage data layers.
• Guardrails & Security: Implement system safety rules, data privacy guardrails, and prompt tracking to protect user data and shield against vulnerabilities.

Qualifications

Education/ Experience:

• Four-year degree in a related field or equivalent experience​ 

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
