• Build AI/GenAI-enabled features including LLM integration, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, embeddings generation and vector search.
• Develop and maintain reusable APIs, services, SDKs and common components for use across multiple NeGD projects.
• Integrate third-party and open-source LLMs / AI models into enterprise applications, including prompt design and evaluation.
• Write clean, well-tested, well-documented and maintainable code following defined architecture and coding standards.
• Collaborate with the Senior Architect-Developer on system design, technical decisions and code reviews.
• Participate in unit testing, integration testing and deployment activities for the components developed.
• Troubleshoot, debug and optimize application performance, including AI/LLM response latency and accuracy.
• Document technical designs, APIs and reusable components for adoption by other project teams.

Mandatory Skills & Experience

• Solid experience building and consuming REST APIs and working with microservice architectures.
• Mandatory hands-on AI/GenAI implementation experience (not limited to theoretical knowledge) — actual project/product experience required.
• Practical experience with LLM integration, RAG pipelines, embeddings and vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate).
• Experience developing reusable APIs, services and components intended for use across multiple applications/projects.
• Working knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases and ORMs.
• Familiarity with version control (Git), containerization (Docker) and basic CI/CD workflows.

• Experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex or similar AI/LLM orchestration frameworks.
• Exposure to cloud AI services (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI).
• Prior experience on government, public sector or large-scale citizen services platforms.
• Basic understanding of frontend technologies for API/UI integration and testing.
