Responsibilities

  • embrace a fast-paced, agile environment where outcome and quick progress is achieved through experimentation and rapid iteration.
  • architect and lead the development of backend-first agentic services combining LLM services with tool use/retrieval, ReAct and Knowledge Graphs - defining technical strategy, standards, and best practices across the AI division.
  • design and evolve our retrieval & knowledge infrastructure (embeddings, vector stores, metadata schemas, glossary, memories) ensuring accuracy, performance, and scalability across diverse use cases.
  • define and champion production excellence: establishing standards for tracing, observability, reliability patterns, prompt/version control, experimentation frameworks, and deployment strategies.

  • strong ML fundamentals with hands-on experience in model evaluation, self-evolving agents (e.g Memory).
  • deep expertise in distributed systems design: API architecture, data modeling, high-throughput async systems, event-driven architectures, caching strategies, and performance optimization.
  • advanced retrieval engineering experience: embeddings, sophisticated chunking strategies, hybrid search algorithms, schema/metadata design, knowledge graphs, comprehensive eval frameworks, and production monitoring.
  • proven track record of technical leadership: driving architecture decisions, mentoring engineers, and establishing engineering best practices.
  • experience with cloud native development at scale, ideally AWS, but GCP is a strong plus, too.
  • excellent communication skills in English with ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
  • Bonus skills:
  • Experience with modern data workflow orchestration frameworks such as Dagster, Airflow, or Prefect, with emphasis on building robust, dependency-aware pipelines at scale.
