Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, Llama, and Local Model deployment.
Frameworks
LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Hugging Face.
Orchestration
LangGraph and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS).
Development
Python, FastAPI, and Asynchronous Programming.
RAG & Data
PostgreSQL, Vector Databases, and Advanced Retrieval strategies.
ML/DL
PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Model Fine-tuning.
Deployment
Docker, Production API management, and LLM monitoring.
Tools
Prompt Engineering, Workflow Design, and GenAI Optimization.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and orchestrate sophisticated AI workflows using LangGraph and multi-agent architectures.
Build and maintain Advanced RAG systems utilizing LlamaIndex and vector databases for high-accuracy retrieval.
Integrate and swap diverse LLMs (commercial and open-source) based on performance and cost requirements.
Design and deploy high-performance, scalable backend services using FastAPI and Async Python.
Fine-tune large language models (LLMs) using PyTorch/TensorFlow to improve domain-specific performance.
Optimize GenAI workflows for latency, cost, and reliability using advanced prompt engineering and monitoring tools.
Containerize and deploy AI services via Docker to production environments.
Required Qualifications
Hands-on experience building and deploying GenAI applications in a production setting.
Strong proficiency in Python and the modern AI library ecosystem (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.).
Experience with vector search, embedding models, and advanced data retrieval patterns.
Knowledge of model fine-tuning techniques and local LLM quantization/hosting.
Familiarity with production-grade monitoring, API security, and CI/CD for ML.
Compensation, Benefits and Duration
Minimum Compensation
USD 40,000
Maximum Compensation
USD 141,000
Compensation is based on actual experience and qualifications of the candidate. The above is a reasonable and a good faith estimate for the role.
