About the role

We are looking for an experienced AI Frontend Engineer with a strong foundation in Generative AI, Agentic AI, and Full Stack Development. Despite the title, this is an AI-first engineering role, where approximately 80% of the work revolves around building AI-powered applications, agents, and intelligent workflows, while the remaining 20% focuses on full-stack development and integration. The ideal candidate should be comfortable designing and developing production-grade AI systems while also possessing the engineering skills required to build and integrate end-to-end applications.


The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:


AI Engineering (Primary Focus):

  • Design, develop, and deploy AI-powered applications using Large Language Models (LLMs).
  • Build and optimise RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines for enterprise use cases.
  • Develop Agentic AI systems capable of autonomous reasoning, planning, and tool usage.
  • Engineer prompts, workflows, and orchestration frameworks for scalable AI applications.
  • Integrate vector databases, embedding models, and retrieval systems.
  • Fine-tune AI models and evaluate model performance using industry best practices.
  • Implement AI observability, monitoring, guardrails, and evaluation frameworks.
  • Collaborate with product and business teams to translate requirements into AI-driven solutions.


Full Stack Engineering (Secondary Focus):

  • Develop responsive and scalable frontend applications using modern JavaScript frameworks.
  • Build backend APIs and services to support AI workflows and integrations.
  • Integrate AI services seamlessly into user-facing applications.
  • Ensure application performance, scalability, security, and maintainability.
  • Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and engineering best practices.


Requirements:

  • Experience building production-grade AI applications used by real customers.
  • Strong understanding of software architecture and scalable system design.
  • Experience working with enterprise AI platforms and cloud-native environments.
  • Familiarity with AI governance, security, and responsible AI practices.
  • Exposure to multi-agent systems and autonomous workflows.
  • Experience working in Agile product engineering teams.


Good to Have:

  • An engineer who thinks AI-first rather than simply integrating AI APIs.
  • Strong problem-solving and system design capabilities.
  • Ability to independently drive AI initiatives from concept to production.
  • A builder who can bridge the gap between AI innovation and full-stack product development.
  • Someone passionate about shaping the future of AI-powered digital experiences.


Required Skills:

  • AI and Generative AI: " Large Language Models (LLMs), RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), Agentic AI / AI Agents, Prompt Engineering, LangChain / LangGraph / LlamaIndex, AI Evaluation and Observability, Vector Databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, Milvus, etc. ), Embeddings and Semantic Search, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or similar LLM ecosystems, AI Application Architecture.
  • Backend Development: Python, FastAPI / Flask, REST APIs and Microservices, Database Design and Integration, Authentication and Authorisation, Cloud-based Deployment.
  • Frontend Development: React.js, TypeScript, Next.js (Preferred), Modern UI Development Practices, API Integration.
  • Cloud and DevOps: AWS / Azure / GCP, Docker and Containerization, CI/CD Pipelines, Kubernetes.
