We are looking for a skilled, innovation-driven Senior Data Engineer to join our team and spearhead the development of cutting-edge Generative AI solutions.

If you're passionate about artificial intelligence and adept at building systems that deliver measurable business impact, this opportunity is ideal for you. You will work with a dynamic group of professionals to create and deploy AI-driven technologies that tackle real-world challenges β€” all within a highly collaborative, supportive, and forward-focused environment.

As a senior member of our team, you won't just write code; you will architect intelligent systems, consult directly with clients, mentor hungry talent, and turn the latest AI research into production-grade reality.

If you love Python, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and staying on the cutting edge of Generative AI, we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement scalable AI applications, including chatbots, search platforms, and autonomous agent workflows
  • Collaborate directly with business stakeholders to understand their challenges and recommend smart, LLM-driven solutions
  • Create data pipelines, design smart prompt strategies, and build testing frameworks to ensure AI models are safe, accurate, and cost-effective
  • Establish coding standards, perform code reviews, and mentor junior developers in AI best practices
  • Run quick experiments, build prototypes to test new models, and stay current with emerging AI research and tools

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer delivering production-grade AI, Machine Learning, or LLM-based solutions
  • Proficiency in Python, especially web frameworks like FastAPI, and understanding of NLP concepts such as semantic similarity, tokenization, and text classification
  • Hands-on experience with modern AI patterns, particularly RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and AI Agents
  • Familiarity with major LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock) and framework tools such as LangGraph or LlamaIndex
  • Experience deploying AI applications at scale, managing cloud costs, and evaluating model quality using retrieval metrics or LLM-based evaluation
  • Capability to quickly spin up user interfaces using Streamlit, Gradio, or similar tools
  • Ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly to both developer teams and non-technical clients
  • Strong English communication skills (B2 level or higher)

Nice to have

  • Development experience with TypeScript
  • Experience incorporating AI into the SDLC using tools like GitHub Copilot or Cursor to write, test, and review code
  • Expertise in AWS or Azure, specifically Azure OpenAI or AWS Bedrock
  • Experience using Databricks (MLflow, Agent Bricks, etc.) for data or model workflows
  • Knowledge of advanced search/retrieval systems (vector databases, semantic search, rerankers) and familiarity with emerging open-source protocols like Model Context Protocol (MCP) or LLM monitoring tools like LangSmith or Arize Phoenix
