Ai Integration & Development
Design and implement features powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative AI, and Machine Learning APIs into our core web applications.
Full-Stack Engineering
- Develop efficient, secure, and real-time applications
- Peer-review code
- Document solutions within an agile-blended software environment
Ai Agent & Workflow Orchestration
Build and optimize conversational agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and prompt engineering workflows.
Collaboration
- Communicate proactively with teammates, AI research, infrastructure, security, and QA teams
- To continuously improve processes and engineering excellence
Concurrency & Scalability
- Write highly concurrent, multi-threaded Java backend services
- Capable of handling real-time AI inference and data streaming
Required Skills
- Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher (or currently pursuing) in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Engineering, or a highly quantitative field.
- AI & LLM Foundational Knowledge: Hands-on experience or academic projects working with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Hugging Face).
- Familiarity with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures and prompt engineering.
- Understanding of vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Chroma, or pgvector).
- Backend & Concurrency (Java/Spring): Strong experience with Spring Boot, Spring WebFlux (for reactive/streaming APIs), and MVC.
- Solid understanding of Core Java, multithreaded programming, and asynchronous task execution (essential for managing AI model call latency).
- Experience writing Unit tests using JUnit and mocking frameworks.
- Frontend (React/Modern JS): Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, CSS, and modern client-side frameworks (preferably ReactJS or Next.js for building AI chat interfaces and dashboards).
- Ability to work on real-time web applications (WebSockets, Server-Sent Events for streaming AI responses).
Soft Skills & Mindset
