Role Overview
Design and deliver generative AI applications from the ground up, including context-augmented paradigms such as RAG/CAG and intelligent agent orchestration.
Prioritize building operable, measurable, and scalable production-grade systems on Azure, ensuring performance, compliance, and cost optimization.
Key Responsibilities
Design and implement RAG/CAG-based application architectures: data ingestion, chunking and embeddings, retrieval and re-ranking, context injection, and response generation.
Build and orchestrate multi-agent workflows: task decomposition and tool invocation.
Use frameworks such as LangChain/LangGraph to implement end-to-end pipelines and integrate services (APIs, queues, event-driven).
Set up AI and infrastructure services on Azure (preferred) or AWS/GCP (vector search, inference services, model hosting, monitoring and logging).
Establish evaluation and monitoring systems: offline/online evaluation, A/B testing, data drift and data quality monitoring, cost and latency optimization.
Implement prompt/tool/memory design and versioning to ensure reproducibility and maintainability.
Drive engineering and automation: CI/CD and environment management.
Produce technical documentation and best practices; support the evolution from PoC to production.

Hands-on agent development experience; understanding of task planning, tool invocation, memory/state, and LangGraph semantics (graph state, nodes, edges).
Familiar with the LangChain/LangGraph ecosystem; able to implement custom chains, tools, executors, and callback-based monitoring.
Familiar with Azure AI services and configurations: Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search (vector retrieval), Bing Search grounding, etc.
Strong software engineering skills: at least one primary language (Python/TypeScript), API design, unit/integration testing, performance tuning.
