LLM Systems / AI Agent Engineer

Job description

Accountabilities: Build, deploy, and continuously improve production AI agents using foundation models, including AWS Bedrock and comparable providers. Design and evolve orchestration systems supporting tool calling, streaming, context management, structured outputs, and agent workflows. Apply context-engineering techniques to improve the reliability, quality, and effectiveness of LLM and agent systems. Develop and maintain evaluation datasets and pipelines covering tool selection, agent trajectories, and LLM-as-judge evaluations. Establish production observability, monitoring, tracing, and instrumentation for LLM and agent workloads. Contribute architectural expertise to evaluate the existing custom orchestration layer and determine whether a production framework such as LangGraph or LangChain would provide additional value. Work closely with the AI function lead and Full Stack Engineer as part of a focused three-person product team. Operate as an individual contributor, taking ownership of clearly defined and measurable deliverables from onboarding onward. Identify production failure modes, implement appropriate mitigations, and contribute across the AI engineering stack. Optimize LLM operating costs through prompt caching, model selection, routing strategies, and broader LLM FinOps practices. Help establish robust engineering practices for reliable, scalable, and maintainable agentic AI systems. Requirements: 2+ years of professional experience building production LLM agents, including tool-calling loops, streaming, context management, structured outputs, and orchestration. Production experience with an agentic framework such as LangGraph, LangChain, or a custom orchestration solution, combined with strong understanding of agent architecture patterns. 1.5+ years of experience with evaluation-driven development, including evaluation datasets and pipelines for tool selection, trajectory assessment, and LLM-as-judge approaches. 1+ year of hands-on experience with LLM observability, tracing, and instrumentation using tools such as Langfuse, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent platforms; direct production experience with agent observability is particularly valuable. 1+ year of experience optimizing LLM costs through prompt caching, model selection and routing, and LLM FinOps. 5+ years of backend engineering experience, including strong proficiency with TypeScript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, and serverless AWS technologies. Proven track record of shipping agentic AI systems to production and delivering comparable engineering projects against defined timelines. Ability to discuss real-world agent failure modes, reliability challenges, and mitigation strategies with strong technical depth. Ability to operate independently across the AI stack while collaborating effectively within a small, specialized engineering team. Experience with AWS Bedrock is an advantage, while production experience with other foundation-model providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, or Vertex AI is transferable. Knowledge of AI safety and guardrails, including prompt-injection protection, output validation, and handling untrusted inputs, is a plus. Familiarity with MCP and multi-agent architectures is beneficial. Exposure to geospatial data is an additional advantage. Benefits: Fully remote, full-time working arrangement in India. Fixed working hours: 12:00 PM–9:30 PM IST during summer and 1:00 PM–10:30 PM IST during winter. No weekend work, supporting a strong work-life balance. Laptop provided from day one. Full medical insurance from the start of employment. Access to mentorship, professional communities, and knowledge-sharing forums. Supportive, collaborative environment focused on continuous learning and professional development. Opportunity to take meaningful ownership within a small, specialized AI product team. Long-term career opportunity where individual contributions and technical impact are valued.
