AI LLM Senior Engineer
Job Summary
As a hands-on AI/LLM Engineer you will be at the heart of designing and building advanced AI systems that power the modern enterprise. This is a deeply technical hands-on role you will spendthe majority ofyour time in the architecture and engineering of real-world AI solutions across classical machine learning generative AI and agentic systems delivering these within active client engagements.
You will translate requirements into concrete architecture decisions: selecting design patternsevaluatingand benchmarking technical frameworks assembling reusable components and making deliberate technology choices that balance innovation with enterprise-grade reliability.
You will design and build AI agent architectures including multi-agent orchestration tool use skills use and memory systems and work hands-on with foundation models through fine-tuning retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and custom model integration.
A partof your work will also involve engineering the AI context layer that makes these systems intelligent in practice connecting enterprise knowledge bases structured and unstructured data sources and domain-specific content so that AI outputs are grounded accurate and relevant to the clients business.
You will design andvalidatesystems against enterprise non-functional requirements across security observability governance performance and scalability.A core output of this role is the production of tangible engineering and architecture deliverables. This means writing and owning software components building integrating and testing AI system modules as a practitioner alongside producing detailed architecture artifacts including architecture decision records (ADRs)componentdiagrams data flow diagrams and integration specifications that guide and enable broader engineering teams.
You will work with cross-functional delivery teams alongside data engineers ML engineers and application developers and this role is an opportunity to develop deep expertise across the full AI architecture stack sharpen your engineering instincts on complex real-world problems and build a foundation for growing into a lead or principal architect over time.
