Seniority: Mid-Senior level
Industries: IT Services and IT Consulting
Job details:
WORK MODE: Hybrid (3 days WFO)
LOCATION: Bangalore
EXPERIENCE: 5+ YOE (minimum of 2–3 years in production LLM/agent systems)
About the role
This is a senior individual contributor role (~70% solo ownership, ~30% collaborative on high-blast-radius problems). You will own and extend production backend systems while also driving greenfield builds across the Recipe Engine, cloud infrastructure, and AI/agentic systems. You report directly to the Software Engineering Manager and join a backend team of four within a 12-person engineering org.
Core responsibilities
- Design and architect complex features for autonomy, data logging, and reliability — HLDs and LLDs expected from day one
- Own and extend the core backend stack powering autonomous operations at scale
- Build and maintain agentic workflows for recipe creation, feedback analysis, and internal tooling
- Build code-intelligence tooling for internal agents: AST-based chunking, LLM-driven graph extraction, hybrid retrieval (BM25 + graph + rerank)
- Improve retrieval accuracy through chunking, embeddings, and a benchmark-driven, eval-first approach
Required skills
- Strong system design fundamentals: HLD, LLD, SOLID principles — tested directly in the interview loop
- Proven experience owning production LLM/agent systems (RAG pipelines, agent loops, tool calling/MCP) — not just API wrappers
- Hands-on with the retrieval data layer: vector databases, chunking strategies, embeddings, hybrid retrieval
- Experience tuning and improving existing RAG/retrieval pipelines; having built from scratch is a plus, not a gate
- Familiarity with AWS (primary stack)
Nice to have
- Experience with knowledge graphs or graph-based retrieval (Neo4j, or equivalent)
- Hands-on experience with code-intelligence/retrieval frameworks (Cognee, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack, or similar)
- Prior exposure to AST parsing or code-aware chunking strategies
