• Familiarity with AWS Bedrock for accessing and deploying foundation models.
• Prompt engineering and structured output design (JSON mode, function calling).
• Model fine-tuning (LoRA, QLoRA) and evaluation frameworks (DeepEval, Ragas).

Responsibilities:

• Design and develop backend systems and APIs for AI-powered applications.
• Build and optimize LLM-based workflows, including chatbots, copilots, and automation tools.
• Implement RAG architectures using vector databases and document pipelines.
• Integrate and orchestrate cloud-hosted foundation models (AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Meta Llama, Mistral).
• Collaborate cross-functionally with data scientists, product managers, and frontend developers to deliver end-to-end AI products.
• Ensure performance, scalability, and cost optimization of AI solutions in production environments.
