Role Overview:

This is a high-impact, senior engineering role , where engineers are expected to operate with significant ownership and minimal oversight. The role focuses on building production-ready AI systems in an environment where speed, correctness, and architectural decisions have long-term implications.

Ideal Candidate’s Profile:

A seasoned AI engineer ( ninja-level ) with hands-on experience in developing and deploying real LLM systems, who excels in environments with significant ownership responsibilities and values impactful work more than structured, low-risk settings.





Individuals driven by ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to build from the ground up (rather than being a small cog in a large organization) will thrive here.

Responsibilities & Expectations:

Key Responsibilities:

Design and build production-grade LLM systems (RAG, agents, APIs)
Architect systems that minimize rework in fast-evolving environments
Own end-to-end delivery of critical AI features
Define and implement evaluation frameworks
Optimize systems for cost, latency, and reliability
Collaborate across teams where needed
Provide technical guidance where applicable (especially for less experienced engineers on adjacent teams)

Must-Haves (non-negotiables):

Strong backend/software engineering foundation (Python, APIs, system design)
Proven experience shipping LLM-powered features to production (non-negotiable)
Deep expertise in: RAG systems (advanced retrieval + evaluation)
LLM evaluation methodologies (golden sets, regression testing)
Prompt engineering at API level
Agent architectures (ReAct, tool calling, planning loops)

Strong understanding of trade-offs (cost, latency, scalability)
Ability to work independently in ambiguous, rapid-moving environments

Nice-to-Have:

Fine-tuning experience (LoRA, SFT, DPO)
Inference stack experience (vLLM, TGI, llama.cpp)
Observability tooling (Langfuse, LangSmith)
Prior experience in early-stage or high-ownership teams

Public work (GitHub, blogs, talks) demonstrating depth

Education:

Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related discipline

Technical Skills:

Advanced Python and backend engineering
