The Role
Design and build production GenAI systems: LLM/agentic applications, end-to-end RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, APIs, and integrations with enterprise data platforms. Apply guardrails, evaluation, and collaborate with Data Engineering and MLOps to deploy, monitor, and scale reusable components and best practices.
Summary Generated by Built In

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop LLM-powered applications using agentic patterns (single/multi-agent) for business use cases
  • Build and optimise end-to-end RAG pipelines (ingestion, embeddings, retrieval, orchestration, response synthesis)
  • Implement prompt engineering and orchestration techniques (prompt chaining, tool/function calling, structured outputs)
  • Develop production-grade APIs and services (FastAPI/Flask/Streamlit) for GenAI applications
  • Integrate LLM solutions with enterprise systems, data platforms, and workflows
  • Apply guardrails and evaluation frameworks to improve response quality, reduce hallucinations, and ensure responsible AI usage
