About the Role

Our client is a forward-thinking AI company building next-gen products powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). They are actively looking for a Machine Learning Engineer with hands-on experience building LLM pipelines and implementing RAG architectures in production.

You’ll lead the development of scalable, intelligent systems that combine unstructured data with cutting-edge AI to deliver real-time insights and automation.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect, build, and deploy end-to-end systems using LLMs and RAG

  • Design intelligent document or data retrieval workflows using vector databases and embedding models

  • Own implementation of LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar tools to orchestrate RAG flows

  • Integrate external APIs (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, etc.) and optimize model selection, prompting, and performance

  • Collaborate with backend and data engineers to ship reliable, scalable ML features

  • Continuously improve retrieval precision and model relevance with feedback loops

Tech Stack

  • Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, LlamaIndex

  • Vector DBs: Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, Qdrant

  • OpenAI, Anthropic, LLaMA, Mistral APIs

  • AWS / GCP / Azure ML environments

Requirements

  • 3+ years of ML Engineering experience (can include backend-heavy ML roles)

  • Proven experience working with LLMs and building RAG pipelines

  • Deep understanding of embeddings, semantic search, and vector databases

  • Ability to design and deploy production-level ML systems

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals

  • Candidates must be U.S. citizens.

  • Sponsorship is not available for this role; candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. on a permanent, full-time basis without the need for future sponsorship
