• Communicate well with other engineering or product teams, take responsibility in broadcasting information internally (documentation) or externally (all hands, demos)
• Collaborating with data, ML, and DevOps engineers
• Build and optimize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines for intelligent document retrieval and conversational AI
• Develop and integrate agentic workflows using LangGraph and LangChain for multi-step reasoning and tool use
• Integrate and orchestrate large language models (Claude, OpenAI GPT) into production systems, including prompt engineering, model selection, and output evaluation
• Develop scalable, well-documented RESTful APIs for seamless front-end and back-end communication
• Collaborating with UX/UI designers in Figma
• Ensuring the security and performance of the application’s server-side logic
• Troubleshooting and debugging issues to optimize the application’s functionality
• Developing APIs for seamless front-end-back-end communication
• Keeping up-to-date with industry trends and emerging technologies
