Job summary

K2 Partnering Solutions Pte. Ltd. seeks a hands-on AI Application Engineer to bridge fast AI prototyping with production-grade software delivery.

You will transform initial prototypes into secure, scalable, and fully governed applications while collaborating with product owners, data engineers, security specialists, and business stakeholders. Responsibilities include re-architecting prototypes, designing end-to-end AI capabilities, implementing RAG patterns, and building CI/CD pipelines to

Qualifications

• 7+ years of hands-on software development experience building and supporting enterprise-grade or cloud-native applications.
• Strong expertise in modern languages and frameworks such as React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, .NET, or Java.
• Hands-on experience integrating applications with major cloud AI services (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Azure ML, or equivalent public cloud environments) and RESTful services.
• Practical experience implementing LLMs, RAG patterns, prompt engineering, vector search, embeddings, and workflow orchestration.
• Solid understanding of secure coding practices (secrets management, least-privilege access) and identity frameworks (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, JWT, RBAC).
• Experience using CI/CD platforms (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), containerization, deployment rollbacks, and environment management.
• Firm grasp of AI-specific risks, including hallucinations, prompt injection, data leakage, and explainability limitations.

Responsibilities

• Re-architect early-stage AI prototypes and experimental code into maintainable, production-ready software using clean architecture, secure authentication, and robust APIs.
• Design and build end-to-end AI capabilities, including conversational interfaces, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, workflow agents, and enterprise automation tools.
• Build and maintain scalable applications across front-end UI, back-end APIs, database integrations, authentication, logging, and monitoring systems.
• Implement AI safety patterns, including retrieval grounding, prompt management, input/output filtering, audit logging, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
• Develop standardized starter templates, reusable patterns, and engineering playbooks to accelerate AI delivery across multiple teams.
• Build automated testing suites (functional, regression, prompt quality, and guardrail validation) and implement system monitoring for latency, token usage, cost, and error tracking.
• Partner with platform engineers to deploy applications via modern CI/CD pipelines, containerization standards, and enterprise cloud infrastructure.
• Maintain solution designs, standard operating procedures, and support guides to ensure long-term maintainability.
