Position Description

We are seeking a highly skilled AI Engineer with deep expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs), AI agent frameworks, and Model Context Protocols (MCP). The ideal candidate will design, develop, and deploy advanced AI-powered applications that leverage LLMs for reasoning, planning, and autonomous decision-making. In this role, you will build agentic systems capable of performing multi-step tasks, interacting with external systems, integrating with APIs and tools, and orchestrating complex workflows end-to-end. You will also implement and optimize MCP-based architectures to ensure reliable tool usage, persistent context management, and robust coordination between agents and backend services.

Key Responsibilities:

• LLM Application Development: Design, fine-tune, and deploy LLM-based applications for reasoning, planning, retrieval, and automation.
• Agent Systems: Build autonomous AI agents that interact with APIs, databases, and tools using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or custom solutions.
• Context & Memory Management: Implement Model Context Protocols (MCP) for persistent context, robust coordination between agents, and seamless tool usage.
• Data & RAG Pipelines: Develop RAG pipelines, vector databases, and prompt-engineering strategies to enable context-aware responses.
• Backend & Infrastructure: Build scalable backend systems and deploy solutions on cloud or on-prem environments (Azure, AWS), with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Research & Innovation: Stay up-to-date with emerging LLM and agentic technologies and evaluate them for practical applications.
• Collaboration & Governance: Work closely with data science, product, and engineering teams while ensuring responsible AI practices, model safety, and compliance with data privacy regulations.

Position Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, AI/ML, or related field (Ph.D. preferred).
• 2+ years building and deploying AI applications with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace).
• Strong Python skills, with experience in Git, FastAPI/Flask, and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Hands-on experience with agent frameworks (AutoGen, LangGraph, CrewAI) and orchestration strategies.
• Proficiency in vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, ChromaDB, FAISS) and embedding techniques.
• Solid understanding of prompt engineering, RAG, and LLM optimization.
• Familiarity with cloud/on-prem deployment and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience implementing Model Context Protocols for context management and interoperability.
• Experience with multi-agent systems, planning algorithms, or reinforcement learning with LLMs.
• Knowledge of production-grade AI monitoring, logging, and observability.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments.

We Offer

• A challenging position within a fast-growing, dynamic, and innovative company
• Extensive training in Applied Medical’s products and their applications
• Opportunities for personal development, growth, and continuous learning
• International working environment
