TL;DR · AI Engineer

As an AI Engineer, you will integrate AI-enabled capabilities into production software systems by connecting models, inference endpoints, and agent orchestration components to create intelligent autonomous workflows. You will evolve solutions from traditional LLM interactions into multi-agent systems using Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Knowledge Graphs, and fine-tuned Small Language Models. Your daily work involves building scalable functionality, developing evaluation frameworks, and refining integration workflows within distributed environments. To succeed, you must possess expertise in Python and experience with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, MCP, and A2A. You will utilize tools such as ONNX, GGML, or Ollama for model optimization while managing secure HTTP APIs, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines. The role focuses on solving the technical challenge of moving complex AI concepts into reliable, production-ready environments while ensuring high performance across various integrated services and data processing pipelines.
