• Design, build, and deploy Generative AI solutions across AWS (primary) and Azure (OpenAI services).
• Build and optimize RAG pipelines integrated with vector databases.
• Develop backend APIs using Python (FastAPI preferred) to operationalize AI models.
• Work with LLM frameworks such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or OpenAI SDKs.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and ensure production readiness.
• Apply best practices around LLM cost optimization, prompt engineering, tuning, and evaluation.
• Ensure secure integration using OAuth2/OIDC, IAM, secrets management, and cloud security standards.
• Collaborate closely with architects, data scientists, and cloud engineers.
• Take ownership of tasks from backlog to deployment without micro-management.
• Mentor junior engineers where required.
