* Optimize information retrieval pipelines using embeddings, vector search technologies, and reranking models to improve response relevance and accuracy.

* Design and implement autonomous AI agents capable of utilizing external tools and services through Model Context Protocol (MCP) environments.

* Build robust data ingestion and semantic indexing pipelines for complex document types, including structured technical documentation, tables, and multi-column PDFs.

* Implement intelligent chunking and document processing strategies to maximize retrieval effectiveness.

* Containerize and deploy AI services using modern cloud-native technologies, ensuring scalability, reliability, and maintainability.

* Monitor model performance, costs, latency, and output quality through LLMOps practices and observability platforms.

* Analyze prompts, traces, and user feedback to continuously enhance AI system effectiveness and user experience.

* Collaborate closely with technical teams and business stakeholders to deliver innovative AI-driven solutions.

## Requirements ##

* Proven experience with **Python** and modern web development frameworks such as **FastAPI** or **Flask** for building RESTful APIs.

* Strong hands-on experience with LLM orchestration frameworks, including **LangChain**, **LlamaIndex**, or direct LLM API integrations.

* Deep understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures and semantic search systems.

* Experience working with Vector Databases such as **Qdrant**, **Milvus**, **Pinecone**, **Weaviate**, or **pgvector**.

* Solid knowledge of Prompt Engineering techniques and AI agent development through function calling and tool integration.

* Familiarity with enterprise cloud environments, particularly **Google Cloud Platform (GCP)** and/or **Microsoft Azure**.

* Experience managing source control, CI/CD pipelines, and software delivery processes using **GitLab**.

* Hands-on experience with LLM observability and monitoring platforms, particularly **Langfuse**, including prompt tracking, latency monitoring, token usage analysis, and user feedback collection.

## Preferred Qualifications ##

* Experience with automated RAG evaluation frameworks such as **Ragas** or **TruLens**.

* Strong knowledge of advanced document parsing techniques, including OCR and layout detection.

* Practical experience fine-tuning open-source models using approaches such as **LoRA** and **QLoRA**.

* Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to navigate uncertainty within a rapidly evolving AI landscape.
