Agentic AI Engineer

The Opportunity

We are looking for a highly skilled Agentic AI Engineer to join our team, specializing in building autonomous, goal-oriented AI systems. You will play a crucial role in shifting our AI strategy from passive LLM chatbots to proactive, multi-agent orchestrations. In this role, you will utilize deep experience in agent orchestration frameworks, RAG, knowledge graphs, and fine-tuning Small Language Models (SLMs) for edge deployment.

• Design and implement intelligent agent architectures that can reason, plan, and take actions using Lang Chain, Lang Graph, and Auto Gen.
• Develop and deploy multi-agent systems using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols to facilitate communication, tool usage, and collaborative task solving.
• Build advanced RAG pipelines integrating unstructured data with Knowledge Graphs (KG) to enhance reasoning accuracy and context retention.
• Fine-tune SLMs for specific domains and optimize them for edge device performance, including ONNX, GGML, or Ollama.
• Develop evaluation frameworks to test agent reliability, safety, and performance, moving from prototype to production, including ReAct loops and human-in-the-loop.

Join us. The world can't wait.

• 5+ years of experience in software development
• 3+ years of experience with GenAI, LLMs, and agentic workflows
• 3+ years of experience with Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Auto Gen, or Llama Index
