  • 1.5+ years of hands-on experience building GenAI / LLM applications in production using OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, or similar model APIs.
  • Experience building LLM-powered agents, including intent classification, domain-specific agents, agentic extraction flows, and multi-step orchestration.
  • Hands-on experience with Agentic AI frameworks or patterns such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, function calling, tool use, or custom orchestration.
  • Strong experience in structured output extraction from LLMs using JSON schema enforcement, Pydantic, retry/repair strategies, and validation logic.

  • Integrate semantic search and vector retrieval services for embedding-based entity resolution, fuzzy matching, confidence scoring, and disambiguation flows.
  • Design, build, and consume FastAPI-based microservices.
  • Implement async orchestration patterns for parallel LLM calls, API calls, and downstream service integrations.
  • Develop prompt engineering patterns, structured output enforcement, JSON schema validation, function calling, tool usage, and guardrails.

  • Work with metadata/catalog services, entitlement-aware data access, and reporting-engine payload contracts.
  • Collaborate with multiple platform, data, service, and product teams to deliver production-ready GenAI capabilities.
  • Write clear technical documentation including Confluence pages, ADRs, sequence diagrams, and flow diagrams.
