Job description

Company is helping an on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing company find a Software Engineer to design and build production-grade AI applications, agents, and conversational  this role, you’ll develop AI-powered products that support complex task execution, decision-making, and customer interactions. You’ll evaluate and integrate large language models, build Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems, and partner with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, reliable AI solutions.

The ideal candidate is an experienced software engineer with a strong Python and machine learning background, hands-on experience building AI applications, and a practical understanding of how to balance model accuracy, latency, cost, and user experience.

As a Software Engineer, you'll:

Design and develop AI agents and autonomous systems capable of complex task execution and decision-making.

Build conversational AI applications, including chatbots and voice-based customer service systems.

Develop AI-powered integrations across applications, platforms, and services.

Design and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems using vector databases, embeddings, retrieval strategies, and prompt engineering.

Develop, implement, and optimize machine learning models using PyTorch.

Evaluate and select large language models based on accuracy, latency, cost, capabilities, and user experience.

Translate business requirements into scalable technical AI solutions in partnership with cross-functional teams.

Architect, deploy, and maintain production-grade AI systems with a focus on reliability, scalability, security, and performance.

Monitor AI system performance and improve model quality, response accuracy, and operational efficiency.

Ideal candidate profile
