Role Type: 100% Hands-On Technical Leadership About the Role

We are looking for highly experienced, hands-on Senior Java Engineers (Architects and Technical Leads) with strong backend software engineering roots to join an innovation-focused team driving cutting-edge Agentic AI initiatives.

GenAI / RAG / Agentic AI Implementation: Proven hands-on experience building Agentic AI workflows, RAG pipelines, AI agents, or AI-powered tools. (Note: Using GitHub Copilot solely for IDE autocomplete does NOT meet this requirement).

100% Hands-On Mindset: Active coding,



system designing, and technical problem-solving are mandatory.
