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
