• Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists, product managers, and other stakeholders to deliver end-to-end AI solutions.
• Develop reusable components, APIs, tools, and frameworks that accelerate the deployment of AI-powered applications.
• Establish appropriate evaluation, testing, monitoring, and observability practices for AI and LLM-based systems.
• Stay current with developments in Generative AI, LLMs, AI agents, model orchestration, and enterprise AI deployment.

Requirements

• 5–13 years of professional experience in software engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or related technical fields.
• Strong hands-on experience developing AI and Generative AI applications.
• Solid understanding of Large Language Models, foundation models, prompt engineering, model APIs, and AI application architecture.
• Demonstrated experience taking AI solutions from experimentation and prototyping through production deployment.
• Strong Forward Deployment Engineering mindset, with the ability to work directly with customers or users and rapidly develop solutions around their requirements.
• Strong programming skills and solid software engineering fundamentals.
• Experience designing scalable, reliable, secure, and maintainable AI-powered systems.
• Ability to independently investigate complex technical problems and deliver solutions in ambiguous, rapidly changing environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience with LangChain or comparable LLM orchestration frameworks is desirable.
• Hands-on experience building Agentic AI systems, autonomous workflows, or AI agents is a plus.
• Experience developing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines is preferred.
• Knowledge of vector databases, embeddings, semantic search, and document processing is advantageous.
• Familiarity with AI evaluation frameworks, observability, guardrails, and LLM application monitoring is beneficial.
• Experience with cloud platforms and modern deployment technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD is a plus.
• Exposure to multi-agent architectures, tool calling, function calling, and workflow orchestration is desirable.

Benefits

• Competitive annual compensation: ₹10,00,000–₹65,00,000, depending on experience and engagement scope.
• Fully remote opportunity available from anywhere in India.
• Freelance/contract engagement offering flexibility and project-based collaboration.
• Opportunity to work on advanced AI and Generative AI initiatives with real-world business applications.
• Hands-on exposure to LLMs, AI agents, RAG, model orchestration, cloud deployment, and emerging AI technologies.
• Opportunity to operate in a Forward Deployment Engineering environment with direct customer and stakeholder interaction.
• Scope to build reusable AI components, frameworks, and production-grade solutions with significant technical ownership.
• Fast-paced, innovation-focused environment suited to engineers who enjoy experimentation, autonomy, and solving complex problems.
