Job Description

We're supporting a fast-paced team seeking a hands-on AI Engineer to design and deploy scalable Generative AI solutions. This role is ideal for someone with deep experience in LLM-powered applications, agent frameworks, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services such as Vertex AI and BigQuery. The work spans applied AI engineering, solution architecture, and cross-functional collaboration to bring business use cases to life.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and deploy LLM-powered solutions using frameworks like LangGraph, Agent SDKs (Google, OpenAI, Microsoft), and PydanticAI.
  • Architect and implement multi-agent workflows that incorporate search, automation, retrieval, and summarization.
  • Build scalable cloud backends using Vertex AI, Cloud Run Functions, BigQuery, and other GCP services.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., architects, consultants, data engineers) to translate business challenges into AI solutions.
  • Prototype rapidly, evaluate LLMs (open-source and proprietary), and deploy PoCs with measurable outcomes.
  • Monitor agent reliability, improve response quality, and mitigate hallucinations.
  • Write clean, testable, and well-documented code.
  • Contribute to internal accelerators and help shape the team's agentic development toolkit.
  • Stay current on trends in LLMs, orchestrators, vector DBs, and GCP innovations.
Qualifications
  • 4-7 years of experience in software engineering, ML engineering, or AI product development.
  • Strong Python development skills and experience building modular, scalable systems.
  • Demonstrated experience with GenAI systems, including RAG pipelines, custom agents, or conversational assistants.
  • Hands-on with GCP, especially Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Run Functions, IAM, and Cloud Storage.
  • Proficient with agent frameworks such as Agent SDK, LangGraph, CrewAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or PydanticAI.
  • Solid understanding of LLM system components: prompt engineering, tool use, RAG, tuning.
  • Experience working in ambiguous environments and iterating quickly ("fail fast" mindset).
  • Strong communicator-able to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and contribute to client demos or working sessions.
  • Skilled in requirements gathering and translating business needs into data or AI workflows.
Preferred Qualifications

Data Science & MLOps:
  • Experience comparing GenAI with traditional ML approaches (classification, clustering, summarization).
  • Background in data wrangling, especially for RAG pipelines or predictive models.
  • Experience with DBT and designing analytics-ready datasets (e.g., star schema).
  • Familiar with ML orchestration tools (Vertex Pipelines, Airflow, Prefect).
  • Knowledge of model monitoring (drift detection, feedback loops) and version control best practices.

Consulting & Delivery:
  • Familiar with Agile delivery across phases: discovery, PoC, iteration, deployment, sustainment.
  • Able to flag implementation risks, estimate effort, and navigate data dependencies.
