Are you the one we are looking for?

Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement scalable AI integration patterns (RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, MCP tools, structured extraction, summarization, compliance intelligence) that can be reused across the platform
• Design and deliver production-grade AI-powered features embedded within mission-critical procurement workflows, including internal tooling
• Define and implement evaluation frameworks, observability, and guardrails to ensure model quality, cost governance, security, and compliance
• Partner with architecture leadership to evolve our legacy monolithic platform toward more modular, service-oriented capabilities
• Establish engineering standards for AI systems, including testing strategies, prompt/version management, model lifecycle practices, and performance monitoring
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, UX and domain subject matter experts (internal and external) to ensure AI solutions solve real user problems
• Contribute to architectural reviews and technical design sessions to ensure alignment with long-term platform modernization goals
• Use PlanetBids issued AI tools and platforms to seek efficiencies in your role
• Produce clear technical documentation to support maintainability and knowledge sharing.

Requirements:

• 3–5 years of software engineering experience, with exposure to AI/LLM-based solutions
• Hands-on experience with LLM integrations (e.g., RAG, prompt engineering, summarization, or structured data extraction)
• Proficiency in Python, Node.js, or similar, with experience building APIs and scalable services
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Familiarity with vector databases or retrieval systems (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, etc.)
• Solid understanding of modular or service-oriented architectures
