Senior GenAI Engineer (Python + React + Agentic AI)

Hiring JD — Senior GenAI Engineer (Python + React + Agentic AI)

Job Title

Senior GenAI Engineer

• Overall experience: 5–8 years

Location

Bangalore, or candidates ready to relocate to Bangalore.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior GenAI Engineer with strong core engineering foundations and hands-on experience building and deploying GenAI solutions. This role is execution- and ownership-focused — responsible for delivering GenAI features end-to-end (backend + frontend), working with agentic AI workflows, and mentoring junior engineers while handling ambiguous requirements.

This position is part of our GenAI hiring phase, where we prioritize strong full-stack/backend engineers who have recently built and shipped GenAI and agentic AI solutions in production.

Experience Profile

• Overall experience: 5–8 years
• Core engineering background: Python (Django / FastAPI) + React
• GenAI experience: 2-3+ years of hands-on, production-level experience, including Agentic AI
• Location: Bangalore (or willing to relocate to Bangalore)

Key Responsibilities

GenAI Solution Development

• Build and deploy GenAI-powered features within real-world products, spanning backend (Python — Django/FastAPI) and frontend (React) layers.
• Design and implement RAG pipelines, including:
• Embeddings
• Vector databases
• Retrieval strategies
• Integrate GenAI capabilities with backend systems via APIs and services.
• Build responsive, GenAI-integrated UI/UX components in React to surface AI-driven features to end users.

System & Solution Ownership

• Own GenAI solutions end-to-end, from design to production rollout — across backend, frontend, and AI layers.
• Design RAG architectures and decide:
• Chunking strategies
• Retrieval approaches
• Handle ambiguous requirements and convert them into working, shippable solutions.

Reliability, Quality & Performance

• Address latency, cost, and evaluation considerations in GenAI systems.
• Implement guardrails and safety mechanisms.
• Contribute to monitoring and basic operational readiness.

Agentic AI (Core Focus)

• Build and own agent-based workflows, including:
• Multi-step reasoning flows
• Tool/function calling
• Orchestrated GenAI interactions
• Work hands-on with agent frameworks to design and deploy production-grade agentic systems (deep research not required, but practical build experience expected).

Mentoring & Collaboration

• Mentor junior engineers working on GenAI components.
• Review GenAI-related code and designs, across both backend and frontend implementations.
• Collaborate closely with backend, frontend, data, and product teams.

Must-Have Skills

• Strong engineering experience in Python (Django / FastAPI) and React .
• Hands-on experience building GenAI applications in production.
• Experience with:
• RAG pipelines
• Vector databases
• LLM APIs
• Agentic AI (multi-step reasoning, tool/function calling, orchestration)
• Solid understanding of API design and backend integrations.
• Ability to reason about trade-offs in performance, cost, and reliability.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Familiarity with evaluation frameworks for GenAI.
• Exposure to cloud-native deployments.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers.
