Role overview
- Build and ship AI product features with a focus on reliability, usability, and measurable impact.
- Design agentic workflows that transform written requirements into executable Java code; contribute Python components that orchestrate these steps end‑to‑end.
- Clean, curate, and document datasets; implement robust data pipelines and quality checks for repeatable experimentation.
- Evaluate and test model outputs (functional, performance, edge cases); create reproducible experiments and automated tests.
- Explore emerging AI tools (LLMs, vector databases, frameworks) and recommend practical upgrades to our stack.
- Develop Jupyter notebooks for prototyping, analysis, and communicating results to non‑technical stakeholders.
- Implement retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) patterns to ground models in trustworthy data.
- Use Git/GitHub for version control, code reviews, and collaborative development; contribute clear documentation.
- Partner with cloud and security teams to ensure solutions follow modern practices for privacy, accessibility, and compliance.
What we're looking for
- Java development experience.
- Exposure to AWS or Google Cloud services (compute, storage, serverless, IAM).
- Hands‑on with RAG applications (LangChain/LlamaIndex, embeddings, vector stores such as FAISS or Pinecone).
- Familiarity with GitHub workflows (branches, pull requests, CI).
- Experience building simple APIs (FastAPI/Flask) and containerizing workloads (Docker).
- Understanding of model evaluation frameworks, accessibility best practices, and security‑first coding.
- Any College Student or recent college graduate.
