Senior Software Engineer (AI Applications)

About the Role:

Seeking a passionate Senior Engineer to join our Content Engineering team. This team specializes in large-scale content processing using cutting-edge technologies. In this role, you'll leverage AI applications (NLP, LLM) for document understanding, including, but not limited to, document classification, text categorization, data extraction, and semantic similarity.

Requirements:

      Must have 

• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer, primarily with Python
• Ideally, you possess an advanced degree (Bachelor's / Master's)  in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant field with a focus on Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, but equivalent industry experience may be considered
• 2+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying applications that use Large Language Models (LLMs). 
• Experience in extracting structured JSON from text using LLMs and a deep understanding of Prompt Engineering.
• Proficiency in classic NLP libraries for tasks like NER, text classification, and pre-processing.
• Experience with LLM tracing, debugging and evaluation platforms such as Langfuse.
• Excellent communication, organizational, problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.

        Great to have 

• Experience in async processing of data at scale
• Using frameworks like LangChain, HuggingFace, and backend web frameworks like FastAPI.
• Expertise on core engineering skills - Cloud, microservice architecture, caching, and queuing.
• Familiarity with concepts/tools as Docker, k8s, VCS, CI/CD
• Previous experience in data extraction from specific domains (e.g., financial reports, news).

Responsibilities:

• Deploy LLM based production grade solutions.
• Fine-tune and adapt State of the art LLMs for specialized data extraction tasks. Develop innovative prompt engineering strategy and systems to maximize reliability and performance on confidential business documents.
• Solve Engineering challenges that come along with LLM solutions, such as high latency, non-deterministic output, etc.
• Implement and scale data processing pipelines that can process high volumes of complex documents with high accuracy and efficiency.
• Integrate and manage LLM Observability to trace, debug, and monitor every extraction
• Own systems end-to-end, including(but not limited to) designing, coding, monitoring, testing, CI/CD and on-call support.
