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.
