    We are seeking a highly skilled Senior AI/ML Developer to join our Agentic AI Platform Team. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy production-grade AI agents and intelligent automation solutions powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). You will work closely with platform architects and engineering teams to build scalable multi-agent systems that directly support field technicians and enterprise operations.

    The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in Generative AI, Agentic AI frameworks, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and cloud-native software engineering with strong Python development skills and a passion for building enterprise-scale AI solutions.

    Responsibilities:
    • Agentic AI & Multi-Agent Systems

      • Design and develop autonomous, goal-oriented AI agents using frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, MCP, and internal frameworks (PyVegas, VEGAS, DPF).
      • Build and enhance multi-agent orchestration pipelines with advanced state management, conditional routing, task delegation, and fault-tolerant error recovery mechanisms.
      • Implement tool-calling agents that support parallel execution, sequential enrichment workflows, and intelligent summarization.
      • Design and develop multimodal AI capabilities, including vision-enabled image analysis and document processing.

      Generative AI & LLM Engineering

      • Develop, fine-tune, and optimize Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs) for domain-specific business use cases.
      • Design advanced prompt engineering frameworks, dynamic prompt management solutions, and token optimization strategies to improve performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
      • Integrate with Azure OpenAI and other foundation model platforms utilizing resilient patterns such as circuit breakers, retries, fallback chains, and observability controls.
      • Build real-time conversational AI experiences using streaming technologies such as WebSockets and Server-Sent Events (SSE).

      Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) & Knowledge Systems

      • Design and optimize vector embedding pipelines, intelligent document chunking strategies, semantic search, and hybrid retrieval architectures.
      • Develop advanced RAG solutions leveraging vector databases, hybrid search (semantic and keyword-based retrieval), re-ranking techniques, and Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF).
      • Implement Knowledge Graph-based solutions to improve contextual understanding, reasoning, and AI-driven decision-making.

      Software Engineering & Platform Development

      • Develop scalable, secure, and production-ready Python applications using modern AI/ML frameworks and engineering best practices.
      • Build APIs, microservices, and distributed systems that support enterprise AI workloads.
      • Implement robust logging, monitoring, observability, error handling, testing, and performance optimization strategies.
      • Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for AI model deployment, versioning, and lifecycle management across development, staging, and production environments.
      • Support production deployments by troubleshooting issues, monitoring model performance, and ensuring operational stability.

      Collaboration & Leadership

      • Partner with business stakeholders, architects, and engineering leaders to translate business requirements into scalable AI solutions.
      • Provide technical guidance on model selection, AI architecture, data dependencies, and implementation approaches.
      • Participate actively in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, retrospectives, and solution demos.
      • Contribute to architecture reviews, technical design discussions, code reviews, and engineering best practices.
