About the job
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced AI/ML Developer to join our team. The ideal candidate will be a specialist in the rapidly evolving field of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI, with a strong background in developing, integrating, and optimizing complex agentic and RAG-based systems.

What you will do

LLM Integration & Development: Design, develop, and deploy production-grade applications leveraging various LLMs, context optimization, etc.

Agentic Workflows: Architect and implement sophisticated, multi-step and multi-agent workflows using frameworks like LangChain and LangGraph.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): Build and optimize RAG pipelines, including implementing and managing embeddings, vector databases, and advanced rerankers to enhance response quality and relevance.

Vibe Coding: Use code generation applications (e.g. Replit, Cursor, Google AI Studio, Git Hub Copilot in Agent mode, etc.) to create full applications (including frontend and backend), generate tests, perform testing and integrate them in the core product without writing any code.

LLM Fine Tuning: Lead efforts in LLM fine-tuning (e.g., LoRA, QLoRA) for specific domain knowledge and tasks, and implement strategies for and efficiency.

Prompt Engineering: Develop and refine advanced prompt engineering techniques to maximize model performance, consistency, and safety.

Full-Stack Development: Own end-to-end implementation from frontend to the backend.

Java (Plus): Expose AI/LLM functionality written in Python using Java services, leverage multi-threading capabilities in Java to augment AI/LLM functionality developed in Python

Code Quality & Productivity: Utilize AI-powered development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, etc.) to efficiently generate, refactor, and optimize high-quality code.

Collaboration: Work closely with team leads managers, QA, product managers and team in the US (this will require the willingness to partially work US working hours)
