Job Summary:

We are seeking a Lead AI Developer who will be responsible for building next-generation intelligent automation and conversational AI solutions. The ideal candidate will be hands-on with LLM-based development, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, and custom ingestion/retrieval pipelines for unstructured and structured data. This role requires a blend of strong communication skills, deep technical expertise (Python, SQL, n8n, LLMs, DevOps), and a problem-solver mindset. You will lead projects end-to-end—from architecture and development to deployment and optimization—while mentoring a small team of AI engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

* Lead the design, development, and deployment of AI-powered applications leveraging LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), RAG pipelines, n8n, and chatbot frameworks.

* Architect scalable RAG ingestion and retrieval pipelines for unstructured data (e.g., documents, PDFs, SQL databases) and structured data, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.

* Apply advanced techniques such as Context-Aware Generation (CAG), re-ranking, hybrid search, and indexing strategies to handle complex real-world data scenarios.

* Enable runtime SQL query generation using AI to work with structured datasets and integrate results seamlessly into applications.

* Guide and mentor a small AI development team, ensuring high standards in code quality, collaboration, and delivery.

* Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend teams to integrate intelligent features into business solutions.

* Review and improve machine learning models for scalability, reliability, and real-world applicability.

* Oversee integration of AI modules with APIs, external systems, and enterprise tools.

* Own troubleshooting, debugging, and performance tuning of AI solutions in production environments.

* Continuously enhance workflows, automation, DevOps practices, and technical documentation.

Role Requirements and Qualifications:

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

* 5+ years of software development experience, with at least 2 years in AI/ML, chatbots, or LLM-based application development.

* Proven hands-on expertise in LLM-based applications, RAG workflows, vector databases, and custom ingestion pipelines.

* Experience handling mixed data types (structured, semi-structured, unstructured), including documents with embedded structured data.

* Strong programming skills in Python and SQL, with the ability to generate runtime SQL queries using AI.

* Solid experience with n8n workflows, chatbot frameworks, and low-code/no-code automation platforms.

* Prior leadership experience in managing small technical teams and reviewing architecture.

* Familiarity with DevOps practices, RESTful APIs, and cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure).

* Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.

* A problem-solver mindset with the ability to experiment, debug, and adapt solutions in dynamic environments.

Why Join Us:

* Work on transformative AI projects with leading global clients across industries.

*Exposure to cutting-edge technologies including LLMs, RAG, automation, and cloud-native AI.

* Competitive compensation, benefits, ESOPs, and opportunities for international exposure.

* Strong investment in employee growth through upskilling and career development.

* Open and collaborative culture with focus on innovation, transparency, and employee well-being.
