> Senior full-stack engineer building end-to-end GenAI applications, LLM-powered experiences, RAG pipelines, and intuitive UIs for internal tools across IT, HR, Finance and other functions. Requires 5-8 years software engineering experience including AI/ML applications, strong React/Python/AWS skills.

## Job Description

## What You’ll Do

- Design and build end-to-end GenAI-powered applications, including web-based UIs, API services, and backend orchestration.
- Implement and integrate LLM-based experiences using frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and tools like OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini.
- Define, implement, and champion operational excellence standards (SLOs, observability, incident response frameworks) for all services deployed.
- Develop responsive, accessible, and modern frontend interfaces using frameworks like React or Vue — with a focus on usability, performance, and trust in AI outputs.
- Build and maintain a library of reusable frontend components and hooks that allow other business delivery teams to easily "drop in" GenAI capabilities into their own applications.
- Build and maintain retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with vector search and embedding strategies (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, Qdrant).
- Collaborate with designers and product managers to rapidly iterate on UX patterns for AI-powered experiences (e.g., prompt inputs, citations, summaries).
- Ensure security, privacy, observability, and test coverage across the full stack.
- Contribute to architecture decisions, engineering standards, and best practices for AI/automation systems.
- Partner with platform and infrastructure teams to ensure services scale reliably across the org.

## What You’ll Bring

- 5–8 years of software engineering experience with full-stack development, including 2+ years of building AI/ML-driven applications.
- 5+ years of experience in frontend technologies like React, TypeScript, or Vue, and comfort working on UI/UX for internal tools or enterprise applications.
- Strong Python development skills and 2+ years experience building cloud-based services using AWS, Docker, and RESTful APIs.
- Hands-on experience with LLM integration, RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, or orchestration frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex.
- Strong background in distributed systems, APIs, microservices, container orchestration (ECS/EKS), and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Familiarity with secure coding, authentication/authorization, and internal data governance best practices.
- Ability to collaborate across engineering, design, and product teams — with a strong sense of user empathy and technical ownership.
- Bonus: Exposure to design systems, AI evaluation tooling, or real-time application performance monitoring.
