AI Engineer

This entry-level AI Engineer will work under close supervision to apply developing technical knowledge in Software Engineering and Generative AI performing analytic testing modeling and development tasks on smaller projects and independently on larger more complex assignments. The role will help design build and deploy AI-enabled software solutions including LLM-powered applications retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines and model-serving APIs to meet business requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Perform assigned technical and analytic tasks using established methods and tools documents methods and results and escalate novel or ambiguous issues.
• Support development of AI-enabled applications and fix straightforward defects under close supervision.
• Build and maintain components of LLM-based solutions including API integrations prompt and tool/function-calling workflows and basic RAG pipelines (chunking embeddings vector search).
• Clean transform and analyze data with Python SQL and data libraries; build simple ETL steps and visualizations.
• Execute assigned test cases including unit tests and basic retrieval or model evaluations and help reproduce reported issues.
• Serve models and AI services through RESTAPIs and containers prepare simple configuration changes and follow deployment runbooks.
• Track experiments and model versions and support monitoring and CI/CD processes.
• Document work and escalation steps in tickets and knowledge base entries.
• Learn codebase development workflows and platform fundamentals through pairing and code reviews.
• Produce reliable technical outputs follow quality and safety standards (including AI guardrails) document reproducible methods and records and communicate progress and risks to project leads.

Qualifications :

• Bachelors Degree in Computer Science Data Science Engineering Mathematics or relevant STEM certification.
• Problem decomposition clear communication reading documentation collaborating through code review and explaining results to non-technical people.
• Python and Software Fundamentals
  • Core language: data types control flow functions OOP comprehensions generators decorators exceptions file I/O virtual environments (venv pip / uv)
  • Data libraries: NumPy pandas (cleaning joins groupby time series)
  • Visualization: Matplotlib Seaborn Plotly
  • Code quality: type hints unit testing (pytest) logging PEP 8 packaging
  • APIs and web: requests REST concepts FastAPI or Flask to serve models async basics
  • Tooling: Git/GitHub Jupyter VS Code Docker basics
• Databases
  • SQL (essential): SELECT WHERE JOINs GROUP BY HAVING subqueries CTEs window functions indexes query optimization
  • Relational databases: PostgreSQL MySQL or SQLite; schema design normalization primary and foreign keys transactions
  • Python connectivity: SQLAlchemy psycopg2
  • NoSQL: MongoDB (documents) Redis (caching)
  • Vector databases (AI-specific): embeddings similarity search and tools such as pgvector Chroma FAISS Pinecone
  • Data pipelines: ETL basics data warehouses Airflow concepts
• Modern GenAI Skills
  • LLM APIs: Anthropic OpenAI structured outputs tool/function calling
  • RAG: chunking embeddings vector search retrieval evaluation
  • Frameworks: LangChain or LlamaIndex (know the basics but understand whats underneath)
  • Agents: tool use multi-step workflows basic evaluation and guardrails
• MLOps and Deployment
  • Model serving: FastAPI Docker
  • Experiment tracking: MLflow Weights & Biases
  • Cloud basics: AWS Azure or GCP
  • CI/CD basics monitoring model versioning
