Job Title: Software/AI Engineer Location: Remote Job Type: 6 months contract Job Summary We are looking for a strong experience in cloud-based data and AI engineering, Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), RAG architectures, and AI application development. The ideal candidate will have practical experience building and deploying AI/GenAI solutions on AWS or Google Cloud Platform, with Azure experience being a plus. The candidate should be comfortable working with LLMs, RAG architectures, AI frameworks, data pipelines, APIs, and production-grade cloud applications. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong programming skills and the ability to design, develop, integrate, test, troubleshoot, and deploy AI-powered solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and deploy cloud-based data and AI solutions using AWS or Google Cloud Platform. Build scalable and production-ready applications using Python and other modern programming languages. Develop and integrate Generative AI and LLM-powered applications. Work with commercial and open-source LLMs such as: OpenAI / GPT Meta Llama Google Gemini Other open-source LLMs Build and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions. Design RAG pipelines including document ingestion, preprocessing, chunking, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, context management, and response generation. Work with LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, and similar GenAI frameworks. Develop AI agents and graph-based AI workflows where applicable. Build integrations between LLMs, enterprise applications, APIs, databases, data platforms, and cloud services. Develop data ingestion and transformation pipelines supporting AI/ML and GenAI applications. Work with both structured and unstructured data. Implement vector search, embeddings, and vector database solutions. Build APIs and backend services to expose AI capabilities to enterprise applications. Implement monitoring, logging, testing, evaluation, and observability for AI/LLM applications. Optimize AI applications for performance, scalability, reliability, security, and cost. Troubleshoot production issues and continuously improve AI and data engineering solutions. Collaborate with architects, data engineers, software engineers, product teams, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
