Project description

We are seeking a hands-on GenAI Engineer to join a team developing production-grade, AI-powered solutions for a major US insurance provider.Designed and developed an enterprise-grade Generative AI platform using Python, FastAPI, and FastMCP to automate recruitment workflows and provide intelligent candidate insights. Built scalable, production-ready APIs that integrated with OpenAI GPT and Anthropic Claude models for candidate screening, resume analysis, job matching, and automated recruiter assistance.Implemented RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using vector databases such as Pinecone/Milvus to provide context-aware responses from enterprise knowledge repositories. Developed AI Agents and custom plugins/skills to automate candidate engagement, interview scheduling, talent recommendations, and workflow orchestration.Owned the complete application lifecycle, including architecture design, API development, deployment, monitoring, observability, logging, and performance optimization. Leveraged AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, Codex, and VS Code to accelerate development, debugging, code reviews, and delivery.Core Technology StackBackend: Python, FastAPI, FastMCPGenAI / LLMs: OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, LLM Integrations, GenAI Ecosystem, Agentic WorkflowsDevOps: GitHub Actions, Docker, KubernetesCloud: Microsoft Azure, AKS, Cosmos DB, Azure Cache for RedisDevelopment Tools: VS Code, Claude, CodexEngineering Focus: Scalable APIs, End-to-End Application Development, Deployment, Monitoring, Observability

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and implement GenAI applications in Python using FastAPI and FastMCP.Build agentic workflows that combine LLM reasoning, tool use and multi-step task execution.Develop MCP servers with FastMCP to securely expose enterprise data, systems and tools to AI agents.Integrate and consume LLMs such as OpenAI GPT and Anthropic Claude, including prompt engineering, tool/function calling, structured outputs and streaming.Build scalable, production-grade APIs and end-to-end solutions covering the full lifecycle: implementation, deployment, monitoring and observability.Deploy and operate services on Microsoft Azure, including AKS, Cosmos DB and Azure Cache for Redis.Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and containerize applications with Docker.Implement monitoring and observability for both services and LLM behavior: tracing of LLM and tool calls, token and cost tracking, latency and quality metrics.Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Codex, VS Code) as a core part of the daily engineering workflow.Collaborate with client stakeholders, architects and engineering teams to translate business needs into working GenAI solutions.

SKILLS

Must have

• Strong proficiency in Python, with proven experience designing, developing and implementing applications using FastAPI and FastMCP.Hands-on experience building agentic workflows and LLM-driven applications delivered to production.Ability to build scalable, production-grade APIs and end-to-end solutions, covering the complete development lifecycle from implementation and deployment to monitoring and observability.Solid hands-on experience across the Generative AI ecosystem, including developing applications that consume and integrate with LLMs such as OpenAI GPT and Anthropic Claude.Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure.Familiarity with Azure services such as AKS, Cosmos DB and Azure Cache for Redis is a strong plus.Strong hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools and IDEs, such as Claude, Codex and VS Code.Good understanding of DevOps and containerization practices, including experience with GitHub Actions, Docker and Kubernetes / AKS.Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher English, with the ability to communicate directly with US-based stakeholders.

Nice to have
