Job description

We are seeking a Lead Product Development AI Engineer – Full Stack who can drive end-to-end product delivery while architecting and operating GenAI, agentic AI and MCP capabilities in production. This role is hands‑on: you will build customer‑facing features across frontend and backend, lead discovery and design, define non‑functional requirements, and ensure AI integrations are safe, reliable, measurable, and cost‑effective.

About You – experience, education, skills, and accomplishments

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or master’s degree (BE, ME, B Tech, MTech, MCA, MS) Minimum 7+ years of professional experience Solid development experience in a commercial IT environment Passionate about code and software architecture Strong web‑focussed development skills Effective communicator at all levels, excellent inter‑personal skills, strong business focus Highly self‑motivated, confident to work on projects alone as well as in a team An enthusiastic approach to extending knowledge and learning new skills Strong commitment to quality of work and a good attention to detail Expert in Java 11/17, Spring Boot (REST APIs, microservices) Microservices architecture (API contracts, versioning, service decomposition) Angular 18+, NodeJS (micro frontends) Scalable system design (event‑driven, distributed systems) Non‑functional architecture (latency, security, observability) Must have experience in End‑to‑end product delivery (UI–API–data–production support) Software design patterns AI integration (Azure OpenAI/OpenAI APIs) RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, retrieval orchestration) Prompt engineering (few‑shot, structured outputs, guardrails) AI assistants & agents (tool calling, workflows, memory patterns) AI evaluation (Ragas, prompt testing, regression evaluation) Production readiness (monitoring, alerting, incident response) Debugging distributed systems (logs, tracing, root cause analysis) Working with continuous integration environments It would be great if you also had CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) Vector databases (Azure AI Search, Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) Responsible AI (prompt injection defense, PII masking, policy enforcement) Experimentation (A/B testing, feature flags – Split.io) Platform thinking (shared AI services, reusable components)

What will you be doing in this role?

Product Development Lead technical design of features; partner with Product, BA, UX and architects to derive solution architecture, technical specifications, and delivery plans. Define and document non‑functional requirements (latency, availability, security, scalability, observability) and ensure features meet agreed targets. Design and build microservices and RESTful APIs using Java 11/17 and Spring Boot; applyclean architecture principles, API versioning, backward compatibility, and secure‑by‑default patterns. Lead frontend architecture and develop in Angular 18+ including state management, modular design, performance optimization, accessibility, and consistent UX patterns. Drive engineering excellence: code reviews, operational readiness (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting). Own end‑to‑end delivery for assigned epics—from design through implementation, rollout, monitoring, and iterative improvements—while proactively managing risks and dependencies.

AI Development Implement AI integrations, including RAG patterns, embeddings, prompt orchestration, and prompt safety/guardrails. Build AI assistants and agent‑based workflows embedded into product experiences, includingtool/function calling, multi‑step reasoning flows, and user feedback loops. Write andmaintainhigh‑quality prompts and system instructions; apply prompt engineering best practices, structured outputs, and robust error handling. Design retrieval pipelines: chunking strategies, embedding selection, indexing approaches, and relevance tuning; choose and integrate vector databases asappropriate. Establish evaluation (AI eval) practices: define success metrics, build offline/online evaluation datasets, implement regression tests, andmonitorquality drift in production. Ensure responsible AI practices: data privacy, PII handling, prompt injection mitigation, content safety, and secure integration of model endpoints. OptimizeAI feature performance with respect to latency andcost,batching, streaming responses, fallback strategies, and graceful degradation.

Collaboration Mentor and guide engineers on full‑stack and AI integration patterns; raise overall engineering standards through examples and coaching. Communicate trade‑offs clearly to stakeholders; drive alignment on scope, milestones, quality bars, and risk mitigation. Contribute to technical roadmap and platform improvements (developer experience, shared libraries, observability, security posture).
