Together, We Can Make A Significant Impact

We are seeking an experienced Senior AI Engineer (Agentic AI & Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to join our dynamic team. As a Senior AI Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and deploying next-generation AI systems powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), Agentic AI frameworks, multi-agent systems, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures. Your expertise will contribute to the delivery of mission-critical AI solutions that transform how organizations access knowledge, automate workflows, and augment human decision-making.

Be Part of Our Success

• Design, develop, and deploy Agentic AI solutions leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs), planning agents, tool-using agents, and multi-agent orchestration frameworks.
• Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems that integrate enterprise knowledge bases, vector databases, document repositories, and external data sources.
• Collaborate with customers, domain experts, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into AI-enabled solutions and intelligent workflows.
• Develop AI microservices, APIs, and backend services to support scalable deployment of generative AI and agentic applications.
• Build and optimize document ingestion, indexing, embedding, retrieval, reranking, and knowledge-grounding pipelines.
• Evaluate, select, and integrate state-of-the-art LLMs, foundation models, embeddings models, and AI agent frameworks.
• Design prompts, agent workflows, tool chains, and memory management mechanisms to improve AI system accuracy and user experience.
• Implement model evaluation, benchmarking, guardrails, observability, and monitoring mechanisms to ensure reliability, safety, and performance.
• Collaborate with software engineers and DevSecOps teams to deploy AI solutions into production environments using CI/CD best practices.
• Optimize AI system performance, latency, scalability, and operational costs.
• Conduct proof-of-concepts, technology evaluations, and experiments on emerging AI technologies and frameworks.
• Support pre-sales activities, proposal development, technical presentations, and customer demonstrations.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices in AI engineering, software development, and solution architecture.
• Stay abreast of recent developments in Generative AI, Agentic AI, RAG architectures, multimodal AI, and AI engineering practices.

Qualities We Value

• Shall have at least three (3) years of hands-on implementation and deployment experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or generative AI solutions.
• Strong experience in Python programming and software engineering best practices.
• Practical experience developing and deploying LLM-powered applications using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI, or equivalent.
• Experience designing and implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, vector databases, embeddings, semantic search, and knowledge retrieval pipelines.
• Familiarity with modern LLMs and foundation models from OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral, or equivalent ecosystems.
• Experience integrating AI solutions with structured and unstructured enterprise data sources, document repositories, APIs, and knowledge management systems.
• Strong knowledge of prompt engineering, model evaluation, fine-tuning, agent orchestration, and AI workflow design.
• Experience with cloud-native AI development on Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Experience with containerisation and orchestration technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Microservices Architecture.
• Knowledge of DevSecOps methodologies, CI/CD pipelines, and MLOps/LLMOps practices.
• Familiarity with databases and vector stores such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Milvus, Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma, or Azure AI Search.
• Preferably have completed at least one (1) project using Scrum or equivalent Agile development framework.
• Experience in AI governance, responsible AI, model risk management, or AI assurance practices would be advantageous.
