Role Summary

We are looking for builders who go beyond using chat interfaces and can connect models to tools and systems, design useful workflows, test outcomes, and turn promising ideas into dependable solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prototype and develop AI-powered applications and workflow automations.
  • Integrate large language models with applications using model APIs and structured inputs and outputs.
  • Build agentic workflows involving tools, function calling, multi-step execution, and human approval where appropriate.
  • Connect AI workflows with APIs, databases, and existing business or software systems.
  • Evaluate model behaviour, reliability, latency, cost, and output quality for practical use cases.
  • Add appropriate validation, error handling, logging, and safeguards to AI workflows.
  • Document experiments, implementation choices, limitations, and results.
  • Explore AI development tools and frameworks and share practical findings with the engineering team.

What We Are Looking For

  • Good programming fundamentals in Python or JavaScript and TypeScript.
  • Understanding of APIs, JSON, and basic application integration.
  • Familiarity with large language models and practical use of tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar assistants.
  • Understanding of prompting, structured outputs, and the limitations of generated responses.
  • Interest in AI agents, tool calling, and multi-step workflow automation.
  • Working knowledge of Git.
  • Ability to experiment methodically, evaluate results, and explain how a solution works.

Good to Have

  • Hands-on projects using LLM APIs, agents, or automation workflows.
  • Exposure to LangGraph, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or comparable frameworks.
  • Familiarity with MCP, n8n, retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, or vector databases.
  • Understanding of agent evaluation, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
  • Experience integrating AI capabilities into web applications.
