Integrate LLM capabilities into existing services, including retrieval, prompt design, and grounding or guardrail checks.
Partner with senior engineers and product teams to translate promising AI techniques into shippable features.
Write clean, tested code and contribute to CI/CD, deployment, and monitoring.

Experience Requirements:

3+ years building production backend services in Java and Spring Boot or comparable stacks, with strong understanding of microservices and REST API design.
Hands-on exposure to applied GenAI such as LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, or agentic frameworks including LangChain, LlamaIndex, or major LLM providers.
Working knowledge of Python.
Experience with containerization and cloud deployment using Docker and Kubernetes or ECS on AWS or Azure.
Comfort with CI/CD and automated testing using tools such as JUnit or pytest and platforms like GitLab, Harness, or Jenkins.

Curious and self-driven, comfortable prototyping quickly and learning in public.
Nice to have: event-driven architecture with Kafka, LLM guardrails, MLOps exposure, caching and observability tooling, and advanced degree or published ML or AI work.
