AI Engineer

· MSc in Data Science, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)

· Strong Python skills

· Hands-on experience building RAG systems or LLM-powered applications (using LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks)

· Experience integrating LLM APIs (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or similar) — we work primarily through Google Vertex AI

· Working knowledge of vector databases (ChromaDB, Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone, or similar)

· Cloud platform experience (GCP preferred, especially Vertex AI)

· Docker and containerized deployments

· Strong software engineering fundamentals — SOLID principles, clean code practices, design patterns, testing, version control (Git), code review

· Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot) — and critically evaluating what they produce

Strongly Preferred

· Experience with agentic AI patterns — multi-agent orchestration, tool use, autonomous workflows (LangGraph, Google ADK, or similar)

· Document processing experience — extracting and parsing data from PDFs and Word/DOCX files programmatically

· Understanding of LLM evaluation principles and output quality assessment (BLEU, ROUGE etc, code execution metrics, or similar)

· Data science fundamentals — Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, statistical analysis, data visualization

· Prompt engineering and optimisation techniques

· Streamlit application development
