  • Build Agentic AI workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, and Haystack, including:
  1. Multi-agent orchestration including planner, retriever, evaluator, and executor agents.
  2. Tool calling, function execution, and system-to-system automation.
  3. Short-term, long-term, and session-based memory management.
Data Validation & Quality
  • Perform end-to-end data validation before data is consumed by AI, ML, analytics, and decision-intelligence applications.
  • Validate data completeness, accuracy, consistency, freshness, aggregations, calculations, and business-rule alignment across source systems and downstream applications.
  • Work with business and data teams to validate KPIs, calculations, business rules, AI-generated insights, and recommendations before production release.
  • Develop automated data-quality checks, validation frameworks, anomaly detection, and reconciliation processes.
  • Identify data-quality issues and coordinate with Data Engineering and relevant teams for resolution.
  • Ensure AI-generated insights and recommendations are based on validated and trusted enterprise data.
Full-Stack AI & React Application Development
  • Take hands-on ownership of end-to-end AI application development, from AI/ML services and APIs through user-facing applications.
  • Design and develop modern, responsive react-based web applications for AI, analytics, and decision-intelligence use cases.
  • Build interactive interfaces for AI insights, recommendations, conversational experiences, dashboards, visualizations, and actionable workflows.
  • Integrate React applications with AI/ML services, enterprise APIs, data platforms, authentication services, and backend systems.
  • Develop scalable backend services and APIs using Python and relevant API frameworks.
  • Ensure frontend and backend applications meet enterprise requirements for performance, security, scalability, usability, and maintainability.
Individual Contribution & Offshore Team Coordination
  • Spend approximately 90% of the role as a hands-on Individual Contributor, directly involved in architecture, coding, development, debugging, testing, optimization, deployment, and production support.
  • Allocate approximately 10% of the role to coordinating and reviewing technical tasks delivered by the offshore team.
  • Review offshore team deliverables to ensure alignment with requirements, solution design, coding standards, and expected quality.
  • Perform code reviews, technical reviews, and functional validation of assigned offshore deliverables.
  • Provide clarification on technical requirements and tasks where required to support offshore delivery.
  • Track assigned technical tasks and highlight dependencies, quality issues, or delivery risks.
  • Work collaboratively with offshore AI Engineers, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and Frontend Developers on integrated solution delivery.
  • Remain directly accountable for assigned hands-on development activities while supporting the quality and integration of offshore deliverables.
Enterprise Integration & Cloud Engineering

  • Integrate applications with enterprise identity and access-management frameworks including authentication, authorization, RBAC, and data-level security.
  • Work closely with Cloud, Digital, Data Engineering, Architecture, Security, and Business teams for end-to-end solution delivery.
Production Readiness, MLOps & LLMOps
  • Implement guardrails for hallucination control, data privacy, security, responsible AI, and output validation.
  • Ensure enterprise-grade governance including access control, auditability, monitoring, and compliance.
  • Monitor production performance across availability, latency, accuracy, reliability, and scalability.
  • Apply MLOps / LLMOps best practices across the lifecycle, including:
  1. Model and version management.
  2. Prompt versioning and rollback.
  3. CI/CD pipelines for AI applications.
  4. Automated prompt, retrieval, API, and regression testing.
  5. Monitoring, logging, tracing, and observability.
Performance Optimization & Continuous Improvement
  • Analyze AI application and agent performance using metrics such as accuracy, response quality, latency, adoption, and task completion.
  • Optimize prompts, retrieval strategies, agent flows, APIs, database queries, and application performance based on actual usage.
  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across data, AI, backend, database, and frontend layers.
  • Drive continuous improvement through experimentation, evaluation, monitoring, and user feedback.
