• Develop agentic AI systems with autonomous decision-making capabilities, tool use, and multi-step reasoning

• Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems using vector databases for efficient semantic search and knowledge retrieval

• Build Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations to connect AI systems with external tools, data sources, and services

• Develop scalable AI applications using modern software engineering practices

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI capabilities into existing products and services

• Implement and optimize embedding pipelines for document processing and semantic search

• Monitor, maintain, and improve model performance in production environments

• Conduct experiments and research to evaluate new AI/ML techniques and frameworks

• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices

• Optimize model inference performance and resource utilization

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field

• 3+ years of software development experience with proficiency in Python and at least one other language (Java, C++, Go)

• 2+ years of hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn)

• Strong understanding of ML fundamentals: supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, neural networks, NLP, computer vision

• Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, Qdrant, or similar) and embedding models

• Understanding of agentic AI patterns including reasoning loops, tool use, planning, and self-correction

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns

• Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and agile development methodologies

• Proven ability to take ML models from prototype to production

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LLMs and generative AI (GPT, Claude, Llama, etc.)

• Hands-on experience building agentic systems with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGPT, or CrewAI

• Experience implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients
