AI Data Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop LLM-based applications using single-agent or simple multi-agent patterns for business use cases
• Build and maintain RAG pipelines: data ingestion → chunking → embeddings → retrieval → response generation
• Implement prompt engineering techniques (prompt templates, chaining, basic tool/function calling)
• Develop backend services/APIs for AI applications using Python frameworks (FastAPI / Flask / Streamlit)
• Integrate AI solutions with enterprise systems, databases, and APIs
• Apply basic guardrails and validation checks to improve response quality and reduce hallucination
• Work with Data Engineering teams to ensure data quality, pipeline efficiency, and proper documentation
• Collaborate with MLOps teams for deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvements
• Document solutions, reusable components, and best practices Must-Have Skills

Experience

• 4–6 years total experience, with 1+ year hands-on experience in GenAI / LLM-based applications LLM / GenAI & Agentic Engineering
• Strong hands-on experience with: - LLMs (Claude, OpenAI, etc.)
• RAG pipelines and retrieval optimisation
• GPT + Agentic AI implementation experience
• Experience with: - LangChain, LangGraph, or similar frameworks
• Agent orchestration and tool-calling architectures
• Deep understanding of: - LLM limitations, evaluation, and optimisation strategies Core Engineering
• Strong Python/Pyspark engineering expertise (production-grade development) with proven API integration experience
• Deep data analysis experience and handling large volume of data
• Fabric/Azure Databricks/Snowflake data engineering integration skills
• Good exposure to: - Cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP)
• SQL
• Containers, CI/CD, monitoring Data / AI Foundations (Mandatory)

Good-to-Have / Preferred

• Exposure to model fine-tuning (LoRA/PEFT) or prompt optimisation techniques
• Experience with evaluation of LLM outputs (quality, relevance, latency)
• Understanding of enterprise data privacy and security considerations in GenAI
• Exposure to Azure AI / Azure OpenAI / AI Search ecosystems
• Experience working on real client-facing AI solutions or POCs
