Senior Generative AI Engineer (Contractor)
A fast-moving product development team is seeking a contractor with strong generative AI experience to build customer-facing applications powered by large language models. This is not a research role - you'll design, fine-tune, and deploy production-ready systems, collaborating closely with product leaders and engineers.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Build and integrate LLM-based solutions into scalable web applications
  • Fine-tune models and evaluate performance in real-world settings
  • Rapidly prototype and iterate on generative AI features
  • Collaborate with product managers and full-stack engineers to deliver impactful features
  • Make architectural decisions balancing speed, scalability, and maintainability
What We're Looking For:
  • Proven experience deploying LLMs in production (open-source or proprietary)
  • Strong Python skills with mandatory experience using Autogen
  • Familiarity with LangChain is a plus
  • Background building AI-driven product features that deliver business value
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, collaborative environments
Nice to Have:
  • Experience with vector databases and embeddings (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate)
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  • Familiarity with model evaluation techniques and performance tuning
