  • Work with frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, and similar ecosystems
  • Build systems integrating LLMs with APIs, databases, and external tools
  • Implement evaluation, validation, and fallback strategies
  • Team Responsibilities
  • Work closely with and be tagged with junior AI developers on projects
  • Assist, guide, and handhold junior team members in development tasks
  • Act as a go-to person for quickly resolving technical queries
  • Monitor progress and ensure best practices in AI system development.

Must-Have Skills

  • Experience deploying scalable AI systems in cloud environments
  • Published research papers or patents in Agentic AI / LLM systems
  • Exposure to advanced AI system design or multi-agent collaboration frameworks

What Sets You Apart

  • You’ve built systems where agents take actions—not just generate outputs
  • You think in workflows, pipelines, and systems, not isolated models
  • You’ve mentored or led junior engineers and enjoy enabling others
  • You’ve handled real-world production challenges (scaling, failures, optimization)Why Join
  • Build cutting-edge agentic AI systems (not just surface-level AI work)
  • High ownership and opportunity to architect systems from scratch
