Job description

About the Role - We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer – AI who is passionate about building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems. You’ll work at the intersection of machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and backend engineering, turning research into production-ready systems. This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong emphasis on scalable AI integration, prompt engineering, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), and building intelligent APIs and microservices.

What You'll Do -

  • Design and build AI-powered applications using LLMs (OpenAI, LLaMA, Mistral, etc.), vector databases, and embedding models
  • Build scalable backend systems and APIs (Python, FastAPI, Node.js, etc.) to serve AI features in production
  • Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and manage unstructured knowledge bases (PDFs, docs, audio)
  • Optimize inference pipelines for low latency and cost (e.g., with Ollama, vLLM, or LangChain)
  • Work with tools like Whisper, HuggingFace, and Pinecone / ChromaDB / Weaviate
  • Write clean, modular code and lead by example in engineering excellence
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and ML teams to rapidly prototype and ship features

Must-Have Skills -

  • 4+ years of software engineering experience (Python preferred)
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs, generative AI, or custom ML workflows
  • Strong understanding of NLP, embeddings, and vector search
  • Experience with FastAPI / Flask / Django and REST APIs
  • Solid grounding in Docker, Git, and CI / CD pipelines
  • Comfortable with cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure) and containerized deployments
  • Strong debugging, performance tuning, and system design skills

    • Good to Have -

  • Experience with LangChain, Haystack, or custom RAG frameworks
  • Familiarity with Whisper (speech-to-text) or audio / video transcription pipelines
  • Frontend knowledge in React.js is a bonus
  • Experience scaling AI systems to serve 10k+ users
  • MLOps exposure (MLFlow, Weights & Biases, etc.)

    • What We Look For -

  • You thrive in ambiguity and move fast from prototype to production
  • You think deeply about user experience in AI-driven applications
  • You enjoy collaborating across teams and sharing your learnings
  • You keep up with emerging research but know how to make it real
    • Create a job alert for this search
