AI Engineer
Summary
Builds generative-AI features using LLMs, RAG pipelines, and vector databases; integrates AI services into applications and refines prompts for production workflows.
Must Have
- 3–5 years of software engineering experience, including hands‑on experience building LLM or generative‑AI features.
- Production experience with RAG pipelines, embeddings, and vector databases.
- Demonstrated ability to design, test, and refine prompts and orchestration logic for LLM‑driven workflows.
- Focus on the generative‑AI application layer — distinct from classical model training and MLOps.
- Enthusiasm for working with fast‑moving generative‑AI technologies.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to OCI Generative AI services or other cloud AI platforms.
- Familiarity with agent frameworks and tool integration.
- Experience deploying applications to the cloud, ideally Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
- Awareness of responsible‑AI and safety considerations.
- Experience with vector database tuning and retrieval optimization.
- AI or cloud certifications.
Responsibilities
- Develop generative‑AI features and applications using large language models and foundation‑model APIs.
- Implement retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, including document processing, embeddings, and vector search.
- Design, test, and refine prompts and orchestration logic for LLM‑driven workflows.
- Build and integrate agentic components, tool‑calling, and multi‑step flows.
- Integrate AI capabilities into applications and services, including OCI Generative AI services.
- Evaluate model outputs against quality criteria and implement guardrails and validation checks.
- Build evaluation sets and run experiments to compare prompts, models, and configurations.
- Collaborate with senior AI engineers and product teams to deliver working AI features.
- Iterate on solutions based on evaluation results, performance, and user feedback.
- Document AI components, prompts, and integration patterns for maintainability.
- Contribute to internal reusable components and accelerators for generative‑AI delivery.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field; equivalent experience accepted.
- Proficiency in Python and experience with LLM frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex) and foundation‑model APIs.
- Working knowledge of RAG, embeddings, and vector databases.
- Understanding of prompt engineering and orchestration techniques.
- Ability to evaluate and improve the quality and reliability of AI outputs.
- Solid general software‑engineering skills, including version control and testing.
- Experience integrating APIs and building application features.
