Description

About The Role:

This position performs complex research, design, and software development assignments in the design and delivery of production AI systems, including agentic workflows, LLM-powered pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and structured extraction services. The position provides direct input to project plans, schedules, and methodology for cross-functional AI products; performs system design, typically across multiple systems and data sources; mentors more-junior members of the team; and works directly with business users and stakeholders to translate ambiguous, unstructured problems into measurable AI solutions.

  • Write and review detailed technical specifications and architecture documents for complex AI system components
  • Build and maintain evaluation harnesses; establish accuracy, latency, and cost baselines and monitor them in production
  • Implement responsible AI practices: data handling, PII controls, hallucination mitigation, auditability, and human review where required
  • Own cost and performance of LLM workloads, including model selection, caching, and usage attribution
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for AI services across AWS and Azure environments
  • Operate in Agile development environments while collaborating with key stakeholders across engineering, product, and business functions
  • Mentor less-senior engineers on AI system design, evaluation methodology, and production readiness
