Project description
We are seeking a hands-on GenAI Engineer to join a team developing production-grade, AI-powered solutions for a major US insurance provider.
Designed and developed an enterprise-grade Generative AI platform using Python, FastAPI, and FastMCP to automate recruitment workflows and provide intelligent candidate insights. Built scalable, production-ready APIs that integrated with OpenAI GPT and Anthropic Claude models for candidate screening, resume analysis, job matching, and automated recruiter assistance.
Implemented RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines using vector databases such as Pinecone/Milvus to provide context-aware responses from enterprise knowledge repositories. Developed AI Agents and custom plugins/skills to automate candidate engagement, interview scheduling, talent recommendations, and workflow orchestration.
Owned the complete application lifecycle, including architecture design, API development, deployment, monitoring, observability, logging, and performance optimization. Leveraged AI-assisted development tools such as Claude, Codex, and VS Code to accelerate development, debugging, code reviews, and delivery.
Core Technology Stack
Backend: Python, FastAPI, FastMCP
GenAI / LLMs: OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, LLM Integrations, GenAI Ecosystem, Agentic Workflows
DevOps: GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes
Cloud: Microsoft Azure, AKS, Cosmos DB, Azure Cache for Redis
Development Tools: VS Code, Claude, Codex
Engineering Focus: Scalable APIs, End-to-End Application Development, Deployment, Monitoring, Observability
Responsibilities
- Design, develop and implement GenAI applications in Python using FastAPI and FastMCP.
Build agentic workflows that combine LLM reasoning, tool use and multi-step task execution.
Develop MCP servers with FastMCP to securely expose enterprise data, systems and tools to AI agents.
Integrate and consume LLMs such as OpenAI GPT and Anthropic Claude, including prompt engineering, tool/function calling, structured outputs and streaming.
Build scalable, production-grade APIs and end-to-end solutions covering the full lifecycle: implementation, deployment, monitoring and observability.
Deploy and operate services on Microsoft Azure, including AKS, Cosmos DB and Azure Cache for Redis.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and containerize applications with Docker.
Implement monitoring and observability for both services and LLM behavior: tracing of LLM and tool calls, token and cost tracking, latency and quality metrics.Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Codex, VS Code) as a core part of the daily engineering workflow.
