About the Role We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer with a strong foundation in Python capabilities, and hands-on experience building Agentic AI applications that integrate with Large Language Models (LLMs) Large Language Models (LLMs).This role blends traditional backend engineering expertise with next-generation AI agentic systems development, requiring not just system design skills, but also creativity in prompt engineering, AI product development and working with data-rich environments. You will contribute to the design and implementation of intelligent backend services that coordinate LLMs, agents, and data workflows to support enterprise-grade agentic systems. Key Responsibilities Develop robust, scalable Java/Python based backend systems that enable the orchestration of Agentic AI workflows . Develop state-of-the-art AI/ML models for solving real-world data management challenges such as entity resolution, classification, similarity matching, and anomaly detection. Integrate LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Mistral, Claude, LLaMA) into backend pipelines to power autonomous or semi-autonomous decision-making. Develop scalable ML workflows using Spark, MLlib, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or MLFlow , with seamless integration into production systems. Translate business needs into technical design and collaborate with data scientists, product managers, and platform engineers to operationalize models. Work closely with various stakeholders to design agent architectures and LLM toolchains (using frameworks like LangGraph, Crew AI, AutoGen, etc.). Implement services and APIs that manage prompt chaining , tool invocation , and contextual memory for agents. Collaborate with data engineers to ensure clean, efficient, and real-time access to structured and semi-structured data. Apply prompt engineering best practices to improve agent behavior, task accuracy, and adaptability. Monitor and optimize service performance, reliability, and scalability in production environments. Continuously monitor and improve model performance using feedback loops, A/B testing, drift detection, and retraining strategies. Contribute to code reviews, mentoring, and best practices for hybrid backend/AI development. Required Qualifications 3+ years of experience in developing and deploying machine learning models and AI products in production environments. Experience in Agentic AI systems development using tools such as LangGraph , Crew AI , AutoGen , or similar. Proficiency in Python (NumPy, scikit-learn, pandas, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and experience with large-scale data processing tools ( Spark, Kafka, Airflow ). Experience integrating or orchestrating LLMs within business workflows or intelligent assistants. Solid understanding of prompt engineering techniques (e.g., system messages, chaining, tool invocation prompts). Familiarity with data engineering concepts , including pipelines, data models, and ETL workflows. Strong grasp of object-oriented design , data structures , and algorithms . Preferred Qualifications Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, RAG pipelines). Background in building microservices or backend systems for data-rich AI/ML platforms. Experience with vector databases , embedding services , or semantic search integration. Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker), and DevOps best practices. Experience in developing LLM-powered agents, copilots, or task bots . What We Offer Opportunity to work on cutting-edge backend and AI systems , including agentic automation and LLM innovation. A flexible hybrid work model in our Bangalore office. Competitive compensation with performance-based rewards . A culture that promotes engineering excellence, experimentation, and growth .Access to learning platforms, technical workshops, and industry-leading AI research.
