Job Description & How to Apply Below
Position: Junior-Mid Agentic AI Engineer (Python) (Remote)

ENVIRONMENT

Design, develop, and deploy Agentic AI systems and LLM-powered applications in production environments as the next Junior-Mid Agentic AI Engineer wanted by a provider of cutting-edge Tech Applications. You will build and optimize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines while working with the ML Engineering team on model evaluation, testing, and continuous improvement. Applicants will need 2-3 years of professional experience in AI/ML Engineering or a closely related role.

At least one production-level Agentic project — you've built, deployed, and maintained an agent-based system that serves real users or real workloads. You will also require practical experience with RAG architecture & LLM application development.

DUTIES
  • Design, develop, and deploy agentic AI systems and LLM-powered applications in production environments.
  • Build and optimize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, including document ingestion, chunking strategies, embedding models, and retrieval mechanisms.
  • Integrate and manage vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Milvus, Chroma

    DB) for efficient similarity search and knowledge retrieval.
  • Develop and maintain Backend services and APIs (primarily in Python) to serve AI models and agent workflows.
  • Work with the ML Engineering team on model evaluation, testing, and continuous improvement.
  • Contribute to the design of agentic architectures, tool-use patterns, and orchestration frameworks.
  • Implement guardrails, monitoring, and observability for LLM-based systems in production.
  • Collaborate on MLOps practices including model registry, experiment tracking, and CI/CD for ML pipelines.
  • Stay current with the rapidly evolving LLM and agentic AI landscape, evaluating new tools, models, and techniques for adoption.
REQUIREMENTS
  • 2–3 Years of professional experience in AI/ML Engineering or a closely related role. At least one production-level Agentic project — you've built, deployed, and maintained an agent-based system that serves real users or real workloads.
  • Solid foundation in general Machine Learning — supervised/unsupervised learning, model training, evaluation metrics, and data preprocessing.
  • Hands‑on experience with LLM application development — prompt engineering, fine‑tuning, function/tool calling, and structured output generation.
  • Working knowledge of the agentic stack — agent frameworks, tool integration, memory management, planning and reasoning patterns, and multi‑step orchestration.
  • Practical experience with RAG architecture — end‑to‑end pipeline design, embedding models, retrieval strategies, and re‑ranking.
  • Exposure to vector databases — setup, indexing, querying, and performance tuning.
  • Strong Python skills — clean, well‑structured, production‑quality code. Comfortable with async programming, REST APIs, and standard data/ML libraries.
