About the role

This is an AI builder role focused on deploying and orchestrating AI capabilities, not building or training AI models. We are looking for a senior practitioner (5+ years of experience) who is deeply hands-on with AI tools and can design, build, and iterate on AI-powered workflows, agents, and integrations.

You will not be researching, training, or fine-tuning AI models. Instead, you will be the person who takes existing frontier AI models and turns them into reliable, production-ready systems that solve real problems.

Key responsibilities

  • Design and build AI-powered workflows, automation pipelines, and agentic systems using AI-native platforms and APIs

  • Configure and deploy AI agents using Claude, Gemini, or equivalent LLMs - including tool use, memory, and multi-step reasoning

  • Engineer prompts and system instructions that produce reliable, structured, production-ready AI outputs

  • Build and maintain RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) setups: knowledge bases, embeddings, and retrieval pipelines

  • Evaluate AI outputs, identify failure modes, and iterate on prompts, context, and tool configurations

  • Integrate AI capabilities into existing products and internal tools using APIs and connectors - scripting in Python or similar as needed

  • Stay ahead of the AI tooling landscape and proactively recommend better approaches as the ecosystem evolves

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in software development or AI engineering

  • Proven hands-on experience building with LLMs - agents, prompt engineering, RAG, or AI workflow automation

  • Deep familiarity with AI platforms and tools: Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, or equivalents

  • Ability to evaluate and compare AI tools critically, not just use them, but know when and why to use each

  • Proficient in Python or similar for API integrations, glue code, and workflow automation

  • Strong logical thinking and systematic approach to debugging AI behaviour

  • Clear communicator who can explain AI capabilities and limitations to non-technical stakeholders

  • Experience with AI agent frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, Claude Agent SDK, or n8n

  • Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or building custom AI tool integrations

  • Exposure to vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) and embedding workflows
