The Opportunity

While 2024 was the year of AI experimentation, 2026 is the year of
Agentic AI
. Our client, a Financial Services leader in Fulton Market, is moving beyond simple chatbots to build autonomous AI agents capable of multi-step reasoning and enterprise-scale task execution.

We are looking for an AI Engineer who doesn't just "call an API" but understands how to build resilient, cost-effective, and secure production systems. You will be joining a high-priority squad tasked with automating core business logic using the latest LLM orchestration frameworks.

  • Advanced RAG Pipelines: Implement and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using vector databases ( Pinecone , Weaviate , or Milvus ) and advanced reranking strategies.
  • Model Optimization: Fine-tune open-source models (Llama 3/4, Mistral) using LoRA/QLoRA for domain-specific tasks while maintaining low latency.
  • AI FinOps & Guardrails: Implement token-cost monitoring and security guardrails (Zero Trust integration) to ensure LLM outputs are safe, compliant, and within budget.
  • Production Engineering: Containerize AI microservices using Docker/Kubernetes and set up CI/CD pipelines for model deployment and monitoring (MLOps).

Technical Requirements

  • Python Mastery: 5+ years of Python development (including experience with Python 3.12+ features).
  • LLM Experience: Proven track record of shipping LLM-powered applications to production (OpenAI, Claude, or local hosting).
