AI Engineer - Generative AI / Agentic AI

Position Summary

Seeking a hands-on AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-ready Generative AI solutions and intelligent agents. This role requires strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Gemini/LLMs, RAG, Python, and MLOps, with a particular focus on building AI agents from scratch rather than simply integrating pre-built solutions.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who can take AI solutions from concept and prototype through deployment, scaling, and production support. This role is not suited to candidates whose experience is primarily theoretical, managerial, or limited to using existing AI tools. The engineer must be able to independently design, code, troubleshoot, and productionize complex AI solutions.

AI Agent Development - demonstrated experience designing and building AI agents from scratch, including agent workflows, tool integration, orchestration, and reasoning

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) - experience designing and implementing production RAG pipelines

Python - strong hands-on development skills

LangChain - experience building LLM applications, agents, chains, and integrations

MLOps - experience deploying, monitoring, maintaining, and scaling AI/ML models and applications

Docker & Kubernetes - containerization and orchestration experience for production AI workloads

NoSQL Databases - hands-on experience integrating NoSQL data stores with AI applications

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and deploy Generative AI and agentic AI applications on GCP

Build intelligent AI agents from the ground up, including orchestration, tools, workflows, memory/context, and external system integrations

Develop applications leveraging Gemini and other LLMs

Design and optimize RAG architectures for enterprise data and knowledge retrieval

Build scalable AI services and APIs using Python

Develop LLM workflows and agent frameworks using LangChain

Implement MLOps practices for model/application deployment, monitoring, versioning, and lifecycle management

Containerize and deploy AI workloads using Docker and Kubernetes

Integrate AI solutions with NoSQL databases, APIs, and enterprise systems

Evaluate and optimize LLM performance, response quality, latency, reliability, and scalability

Work in a highly hands-on engineering capacity, contributing directly to architecture, coding, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting
