Software Development
AI Engineer (Applied/Software), Backend Developer, Python, Machine Learning/ ML Engineer
We are sharing a specialised full-time remote opportunity for an experienced AI/ML Engineer with strong expertise in Python software engineering, large language models, AI agents, backend API development, and cloud infrastructure to build and enhance advanced AI-powered internal platforms.
The selected professional will develop new capabilities for an AI recruiting agent, experiment with modern language models and agent frameworks, and deliver reliable, production-ready AI features. The role combines applied AI engineering with backend development, retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration, and continuous model evaluation to improve the accuracy, reliability, and practical effectiveness of intelligent recruiting workflows.
Key Responsibilities
LLM Application & AI Agent Development
- Design, develop, and enhance AI agent capabilities using modern large language models.
- Build intelligent workflows that support recruiting-related tasks and automated decision-support processes.
- Integrate LLM APIs and related AI services into internal applications.
- Experiment with different model configurations and implementation approaches to improve agent performance.
- Develop production-oriented AI features that deliver practical improvements to platform functionality.
Python Backend Engineering & API Development
- Build and maintain backend services using Python and modern application development frameworks.
- Design and implement APIs supporting AI-powered platform capabilities.
- Develop backend integrations connecting models, application services, and relevant data sources.
- Apply software engineering best practices to maintain reliability, scalability, and code quality.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to deliver maintainable backend infrastructure and new product features.
Prompt Engineering, RAG & Agent Orchestration
- Design and refine prompts, model workflows, and multi-step AI agent interactions.
- Develop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities for relevant knowledge retrieval and contextual reasoning.
- Implement tool-calling and orchestration patterns for agent-based applications.
- Evaluate and improve agent workflows using frameworks such as Lang Chain, Lang Graph, or Llama Index.
- Identify opportunities to improve model context handling, task execution, and workflow reliability.
Model Evaluation & Performance Optimisation
- Evaluate the quality, accuracy, and reliability of AI-generated outputs.
- Design experiments to compare model behaviour, prompting strategies, and agent implementations.
- Identify weaknesses in AI system performance and implement targeted improvements.
- Refine evaluation methods and quality metrics to support consistent performance assessment.
- Apply experimental findings to improve the effectiveness and reliability of deployed AI features.
Cloud Deployment & Cross-Functional Product Delivery
- Deploy, maintain, and improve AI-powered services in cloud environments.
- Support scalable production operations using AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or comparable infrastructure.
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate requirements into practical AI solutions.
- Monitor emerging developments in LLMs, agent frameworks, and applied AI engineering tools.
- Maintain high standards of technical documentation, implementation quality, and cross-functional communication.
Ideal Profile
- Strong professional experience in Python software engineering and backend application development.
- Demonstrated experience building applications using large language models and AI APIs.
- Practical knowledge of LLM integration, prompting, and AI application architecture.
- Experience designing or implementing agent-based AI workflows.
- Familiarity with Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Llama Index
, or comparable agent development frameworks. - Experience building backend APIs using FastAPI or similar Python frameworks.
- Strong understanding of API design, service integration, and backend software engineering principles.
- Practical experience working with at least one major cloud platform, such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure
. - Understanding of scalable application architecture and production deployment practices.
- Familiarity with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and relevant retrieval workflows.
- Experience implementing tool calling, agent orchestration, or multi-step LLM applications is advantageous.
- Strong analytical reasoning and software debugging capabilities.
- Ability to experiment with different AI models and systematically evaluate results.
- Experience assessing model…
