AI Engineer

This role is focused on building and scaling a pro-code autonomous agent ecosystem , using modern open-source AI technologies across agent orchestration, LLMOps, AI safety, inference, Kubernetes, and full-stack user interfaces. Key Responsibilities You will be responsible for designing and building complex, stateful multi-agent systems using tools such as LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen , as well as developing advanced Agentic RAG pipelines using frameworks such as LlamaIndex, Haystack, or similar . The role will also involve implementing custom tool-calling logic and Model Context Protocol integrations , connecting AI agents with internal databases, APIs, and enterprise systems. From a safety and governance perspective, you will help architect a robust AI safety layer using technologies such as Guardrails AI, NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails, or Meta Llama Guard , alongside real-time monitoring and observability for LLM inputs and outputs. You will also be involved in deploying and optimising open-source models such as Llama, Mistral, or Qwen , using high-performance inference tools such as vLLM, Hugging Face TGI, Ollama, or Seldon Core . In addition, you will help build scalable AI infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform/Pulumi , and related tooling, while also contributing to user-facing interfaces using React, TypeScript, and streaming-first UI patterns .
