About the Role
We’re looking for an AI Engineer to design, build, and operate production-grade generative AI systems on Microsoft Azure. You’ll own retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions end to end, from data ingestion through to monitored, deployed services, and build the agentic workflows and APIs that put them in users’ hands.
What You’ll Do
Build RAG systems
- Design and implement end-to-end RAG pipelines: data ingestion, embedding generation, vector database management, and retrieval optimization.
- Develop and maintain APIs that orchestrate RAG workflows, including retrieval, prompt handling, and model interaction.
Develop agentic AI workflows
- Build orchestration and multi-step reasoning workflows using Semantic Kernel, LangChain, or LangGraph, incorporating tool use and memory.
- Integrate LLMs such as Azure OpenAI, and tune prompts for accuracy, performance, and cost.
Ensure quality and reliability
- Implement observability, monitoring, and evaluation frameworks using LangSmith and Azure monitoring tools to track output quality, latency, and hallucination rates.
- Troubleshoot and improve retrieval quality, grounding accuracy, and response relevance.
Deploy and operate
- Deploy and manage AI services on Azure using CI/CD pipelines and containerization.
- Build and maintain scalable web applications using Python, Node.js, and React.
Build responsibly
- Apply responsible AI practices, including guardrails, security controls, and compliance standards.
Required
- Hands-on Python experience for backend services and automation
- Hands-on experience with LangChain and/or LangGraph
- Experience with RAG, embeddings, and vector search
- Hands-on experience with Azure OpenAI and Azure AI Search
- Proficiency with REST APIs, JSON, and Git
Nice to Have
- JavaScript experience (React, Node.js)
- Docker and container-based deployments
- Experience with Azure services such as Azure Container Apps or AKS, Azure Functions, Azure Monitor/Application Insights, and Key Vault
