What you’ll do
- 01 Implement, evaluate and ship LLM features end-to-end — RAG, tool-use, agents and fine-tunes
- 02 Design and iterate on prompt strategies: chain-of-thought, few-shot, structured outputs, function calling
- 03 Build the in-product AI copilot — answering steward questions, suggesting rules and explaining match decisions
- 04 Develop evaluation harnesses with telemetry, guardrails and offline + online evals
- 05 Integrate and benchmark third-party APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AWS Bedrock) for cost and latency
- 06 Collaborate with the ML Engineer on embedding strategies, retrieval quality and rerankers
- 07 Work with backend engineers to package AI components as well-defined, observable microservices
- 08 Maintain prompt and model version control with rollback capability for production AI features
- 09 Document system behaviour, failure modes and known limitations for every shipped AI feature
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years software engineering experience; 3+ years working directly with LLMs in production
- Strong Python — async APIs, data pipelines and clean, testable code
- Hands-on with LangChain, LlamaIndex or equivalent orchestration frameworks
- Experience with OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini APIs including function calling and structured outputs
- Working knowledge of embedding models and vector databases (Pinecone, pgvector, Qdrant)
- Strong NLP fundamentals: tokenization, NER, relation extraction and summarisation
- Solid grasp of evaluation methodology — BLEU/ROUGE/BERTScore plus task-specific evals
- Experience shipping AI features end-to-end from prototype to production
Nice to have
- Experience with B2B data platforms, MDM, entity resolution or recommendation systems
- Exposure to fine-tuning LLMs (LoRA / QLoRA, PEFT, instruction tuning)
- Familiarity with Salesforce or Databricks ecosystems
