  • Develop and integrate machine learning, generative AI, and LLM-based features into web platforms, internal tools, and business systems.
  • Build and optimize AI pipelines for data processing, model inference, evaluation, and monitoring.
  • Work with structured and unstructured data sources to prepare datasets, improve quality, and support AI workflows.
  • Implement prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), embeddings, vector search, and agent-based workflows where applicable.
  • Collaborate with backend, frontend, product, and business teams to translate requirements into scalable AI solutions.
  • Evaluate AI models, tools, APIs, and frameworks to recommend practical and cost-effective implementations.
  • Optimize performance, reliability, and operational efficiency of AI systems in production environments.
  • Support deployment, testing, monitoring, and troubleshooting of AI-powered applications.
  • Create technical documentation, implementation guidelines, and knowledge transfer materials for client teams.
  • Provide clear status updates and lead communication with international stakeholders throughout engagements.

Required (must-have)

  • 4–7 years of professional experience in software engineering, machine learning, AI engineering, or related roles.

  • Hands-on experience working with AI/ML frameworks, LLM APIs, or modern AI tooling ecosystems.
  • Experience integrating AI services and models into real-world applications and workflows.
  • Strong understanding of prompt engineering, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval systems, and LLM limitations.
  • Experience working with data processing, APIs, asynchronous workflows, and backend integrations.
  • Familiarity with model evaluation, testing, observability, and performance optimization.
  • Understanding of AI security, privacy, reliability, and responsible AI considerations.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to balance experimentation with practical delivery.
  • Professional English communication (written & spoken) — able to work with international clients and lead cross-functional discussions.

Nice-to-have

  • Experience with frameworks and tools such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, OpenAI APIs, Ollama, or similar ecosystems.
  • Experience building RAG systems, AI copilots, AI agents, or conversational interfaces.
  • Experience with vector databases and semantic search technologies.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms and deployment environments for AI workloads.
  • Experience with MLOps, model lifecycle management, monitoring, or inference optimization.
  • Exposure to fine-tuning, open-source models, or multimodal AI systems.
  • Experience with data engineering, analytics, or ETL pipelines.
  • Experience working in outsourcing, agency, or embedded-team models.
