About the Role

We are looking for an AI Engineer who can effectively leverage modern AI-powered development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.) and Agentic AI to accelerate software development while maintaining high standards of code quality, scalability, and security. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI / Agentic AI — ideal for engineers who not only write code but also know how to collaborate with AI systems to design, build, test, and optimize applications / build Agentic AI applications.

Key Responsibilities

  • AI-Assisted Development
    • Use AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) to enhance productivity across the SDLC
    • Design effective prompts and workflows for code generation, debugging, refactoring, and documentation
    • Evaluate, validate, and harden AI-generated code for production readiness
    • Continuously experiment with emerging AI tools and integrate them into development workflows
    • Design and development of Agentic AI applications
  • Software Engineering
    • Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems and APIs
    • Write clean, maintainable, and testable code in languages such as Python
    • Participate in architecture design and technical decision-making
    • Implement robust testing strategies (unit, e.g. integration)
  • AI/ML Integration
    • Integrate LLMs and AI services into applications (e.g., via APIs like OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
    • Working with Agentic AI frameworks like LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI etc
