Senior AI Platform Engineer
Job Summary
We are partnering with an innovative technology company that is building next-generation AI solutions designed to transform complex unstructured information into actionable business intelligence.
This is an opportunity to join a highly technical team focused on delivering production-grade AI systems that combine large language models intelligent agents knowledge retrieval and enterprise software engineering.
We are looking for a Senior AI Platform Engineer who enjoys solving complex engineering challenges and building reliable AI-powered applications that users depend on every day.
As a Senior AI Platform Engineer you will take ownership of the architecture and development of advanced AI services including agent orchestration retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tool integration frameworks and structured reasoning systems.
This is a hands-on engineering role rather than a research position. Success requires strong expertise in both modern AI application development and backend software engineering.
You will help design systems that are scalable observable cost-efficient and robust enough for enterprise production environments.
- Design and implement multi-agent architectures capable of planning execution validation and human-assisted decision-making.
- Develop complex workflows using LangGraph LangChain or custom orchestration frameworks.
- Create reliable tool-calling infrastructures that connect AI agents to external services and business systems.
- Develop memory and context-management strategies for long-running agent interactions.
- Design and optimize retrieval-augmented generation pipelines.
- Work with vector databases and embedding technologies to improve knowledge retrieval performance.
- Implement advanced retrieval techniques including hybrid search reranking query decomposition and citation-based grounding.
- Build scalable ingestion and indexing pipelines for large knowledge repositories.
- Design systems that combine deterministic software logic with LLM-powered reasoning.
- Implement robust validation frameworks using Pydantic JSON Schema and structured output patterns.
- Create safeguards and quality controls that ensure consistent production-ready outputs.
- Develop testing and evaluation frameworks for AI-powered applications.
- Monitor quality latency cost and user experience metrics.
- Build benchmarking regression testing and A/B testing capabilities.
- Optimize prompts model selection strategies caching and token consumption.
- Build and maintain APIs using FastAPI and modern Python frameworks.
- Implement real-time and streaming AI experiences.
- Work with PostgreSQL Redis Elasticsearch and vector databases.
- Collaborate on containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Support the full software lifecycle from architecture through production operations.
- 4 years of professional software engineering experience.
- 2 years building production AI or LLM-powered applications.
- Strong Python development skills with experience building scalable backend services.
- Hands-on experience with FastAPI or similar asynchronous web frameworks.
- Proven expertise in agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph LangChain or custom orchestration systems.
- Experience designing and deploying RAG architectures.
- Deep understanding of prompt engineering structured outputs model selection and LLM optimisation.
- Strong experience with Pydantic and schema-driven development.
- Solid database knowledge including PostgreSQL and Redis.
- Experience working with vector databases such as Qdrant Pinecone Weaviate FAISS or pgvector.
- Experience building automated testing monitoring and evaluation systems for AI applications.
- Strong understanding of API design WebSockets and distributed systems.
- Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills.
- Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Knowledge of fine-tuning techniques such as LoRA or QLoRA.
- Experience building multi-tenant SaaS platforms.
- Familiarity with AI observability tools such as LangSmith or Langfuse.
- Experience implementing hybrid search solutions using Elasticsearch.
- Cloud platform experience particularly AWS.
- Contributions to open-source AI projects or published technical work.
- Experience working on enterprise AI platforms or knowledge management systems.
- Work on cutting-edge agentic AI systems solving real business problems.
- Build production AI applications rather than experimental prototypes.
- Influence architecture and technical direction from an early stage.
- Collaborate with highly experienced engineers and AI specialists.
- Work with modern technologies across LLMs agents RAG cloud infrastructure and distributed systems.
- Join a company investing heavily in AI innovation and enterprise-scale platforms.
