LARION is a global software outsourcing partner with nearly two decades of experience delivering high-quality software development services to clients worldwide. We help businesses accelerate digital transformation through dedicated development teams, custom software development, AI solutions, and technology consulting.

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI applications. The role requires strong software engineering fundamentals combined with hands-on experience in LLM applications, RAG, agentic systems, AI evaluation, and production AI systems.

The ideal candidate can take AI solutions from prototype to reliable production systems, make sound technical trade-offs, and contribute to the technical direction of the AI engineering team.

I. What You’ll Do

  • Design and develop production-grade LLM-powered applications and AI services.
  • Build and optimize RAG and data-grounding solutions, including vector search, hybrid retrieval, reranking, knowledge graphs, and structured data retrieval.
  • Design and implement agentic systems and workflows, including tool calling, multi-step reasoning, memory, context management, and agent orchestration.
  • Develop evaluation frameworks and regression testing for AI systems, using deterministic evaluations, LLM-as-a-judge, and human-in-the-loop approaches where appropriate.
  • Analyze model outputs, traces, and failure cases to drive evaluation-driven development and continuous improvement.
  • Design AI systems for production reliability, scalability, security, observability, cost, and latency.
  • Implement monitoring and observability for AI applications, including model performance, latency, cost, failures, and potential security risks.
  • Select and evaluate appropriate LLM/model architectures and AI techniques based on business and technical requirements.
  • Apply machine learning and deep learning fundamentals when developing or integrating AI/ML solutions.
  • Collaborate with Product, Data, Software Engineering, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable AI solutions.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers and contribute to engineering standards and best practices.

II. Job Qualifications

1. Must-have

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field,
  • 6+ years of professional software engineering / AI engineering experience, with significant hands-on experience building AI-powered applications.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and solid software engineering fundamentals, including system design, API development, testing, debugging, and design patterns.
  • Strong hands-on experience with LLMs and Generative AI applications.
  • Practical experience with RAG, embeddings, vector databases, information retrieval, and data grounding techniques.
  • Experience designing and implementing agentic workflows or AI agents.
  • Experience with at least one major AI/LLM framework such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, or equivalent.
  • Understanding of LLM fundamentals, including context windows, tokenization, sampling parameters, model selection, tool calling, and model limitations.
  • Experience building AI evaluation and testing processes, including error analysis and regression testing.
  • Experience deploying and operating AI applications in production environments.
  • Good understanding of cloud, containers, CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.
  • Strong understanding of databases and data processing, including experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases.
  • Good understanding of machine learning fundamentals, including model evaluation, bias/variance, data quality, and error analysis.
  • Strong problem-solving and technical communication skills.
  • Ability to produce clear technical documentation (architecture, runbooks, handover documents) and communicate effectively in English.

2. Nice-to-have

  • Experience with multi-agent systems, MCP, tool-use, or computer-use agents.
  • Experience with knowledge graphs, semantic layers, or hybrid retrieval.
  • Experience with multimodal AI, including vision, speech, or document intelligence.
  • Experience with fine-tuning, model optimization, quantization, distillation, or self-hosted LLMs.
  • Experience with AI security, including prompt injection, data leakage/exfiltration, guardrails, and AI governance.
  • Experience with MLOps / LLMOps and production monitoring.
  • Experience optimizing AI systems for cost and latency at scale.
  • Experience with Kubernetes and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Experience working in enterprise or regulated environments
