• RAG Pipeline Engineering: Build and optimize data ingestion and retrieval systems using Vector Databases , ensuring the agent has the right context at the right time.
• Asynchronous Task Management: Manage long-running AI reasoning cycles using asynchronous Python (FastAPI/Asyncio) and task queues like Celery or Redis.
• API Architecture: Design and implement secure, high-performance REST or GraphQL APIs that serve as the interface between the agentic backend and the frontend.
• Safety & Guardrails: Implement backend-level validation and guardrails to ensure that autonomous agent actions remain within secure and ethical boundaries.
