About the role

Responsibilities:

  • Ingest and process high-volume, multi-source data across enterprise systems.
  • Validate stateful business workflows spanning loosely coupled services.
  • Reconcile data across sources with consistency and correctness guarantees.
  • Build event-driven, asynchronous pipelines for real-time and batch validation.
  • Integrate with complex external systems (e. g., SAP, APIs, data warehouses).


You'll also work on:

  • Deploying LLM-powered agents into production workflows.
  • Designing systems to evaluate, monitor, and improve agent behavior over time.
  • Building safeguards for correctness, reliability, and failure handling.
  • Ensuring non-deterministic AI outputs meet deterministic system requirements.
  • You'll own problems end-to-end: design → build → operate.


Tech (evolving):

  • Languages: Python, Go, Node.js .
  • Data: Snowflake, Databricks, Postgres.
  • Architecture: distributed systems, event-driven pipelines.
  • Infra: containers + cloud platforms (Kubernetes / ECS / Cloud Run).
  • AI: LLM-based agents with evaluation, monitoring, and control systems.


Requirements:

  • Production builder: You've shipped LLM-powered features real users depend on and debugged them when they broke.
  • LLM practitioner: You understand hallucinations, retrieval failures, context limits, and what it takes to make agents deterministic enough for enterprise use.
  • Systems thinker: You design for latency, failure modes, retry logic, and observability before features.
  • Enterprise-aware: Data residency, compliance, audit trails, and deterministic guardrails are first-class design constraints for you.
  • 3+ years in AI/ML or backend engineering with strong AI exposure.
  • Hands-on production experience with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Cohere).
  • Experience designing evaluation frameworks: automated evals, regression tests, or LLM-as-judge pipelines.
  • Strong Python; experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar agentic frameworks.
  • Familiarity with RAG architectures: chunking, embedding models, vector DBs, retrieval quality.
