In short

We are looking for a skilled Generative AI Developer to join the AI Store product team as an embedded AI expert. This role involves hands-on development, training, and leading the implementation of complex GenAI and Agentic AI features for enterprise solutions.

Responsibilities

Act as the squad's embedded GenAI expert and single point of contact for all AI/GenAI-related decisions, implementation, and guidance.
Design, develop, and optimize production-grade GenAI and Agentic AI applications, services, and pipelines in Python.
Work under the GenAI Architect to interpret architectural blueprints and implement complex GenAI components, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards.
Integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) — including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face, Anthropic, and Cohere — into enterprise workflows and products.
Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, multi-agent orchestration systems, and Agentic AI flows.
Build, maintain, and evolve APIs, automation scripts, and AI pipelines on the AIForce platform.
Train and mentor squad members (backend, frontend, full-stack developers) on GenAI concepts, tools, frameworks, and best practices — enabling the broader team to actively contribute to AI feature development.
Conduct LLM performance evaluation, prompt optimization, and model fine-tuning as required.
Champion Safe AI, AI governance, and responsible AI development practices across the squad.
Monitor, test, and troubleshoot deployed GenAI models and services in production environments.
Stay current with emerging GenAI frameworks, LLM advances, and industry trends; proactively assess and introduce relevant innovations.

Requirements

Strong proficiency in Python (3+ years), including experience building production-grade applications.
Proven hands-on experience with Agentic AI and GenAI frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face Transformers, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar.
Demonstrated experience designing and implementing RAG architectures, vector search pipelines, and multi-agent systems.
Familiarity with LLM APIs: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and open-source models.
Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Azure AI Search, FAISS, Chroma).
Strong knowledge of prompt engineering, chain-of-thought techniques, and LLM evaluation/observability methods.
Knowledge of Safe AI principles, AI security, AI governance frameworks, and responsible AI development practices.
Hands-on experience with developing AI solutions on any cloud platform.
Solid software engineering fundamentals: Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, API design.
Effective communication and mentoring skills — able to explain complex AI concepts to non-AI developers clearly.

Desired Qualifications

Understanding of LLM fine-tuning approaches (RLHF, PEFT, LoRA) — practical experience will be added advantage.
Experience with MLOps tooling (MLflow, Azure ML Pipelines, or equivalent).
Exposure to multimodal models (vision-language models, speech-to-text integration).
Prior experience working as an AI champion or tech lead within a cross-functional product team.
Familiarity with enterprise AI governance and compliance frameworks.

Benefits

Opportunity to be the sole AI expert within a software engineering squad.
Work on cutting-edge GenAI and Agentic AI features for enterprise-grade solutions.
Translate architectural decisions into production-grade implementations.
Uplift team capabilities through training and mentorship.
Independently drive the development of complex GenAI and Agentic AI features.
