Senior Applied AI Engineer building agent-powered, production AI systems for Newfold Digital’s global web technology platforms. Developing RAG, LLM, and intelligent automation products for millions of customers.
Responsibilities
Build production AI experiences across Network Solutions, including conversational agents, business and website creation, knowledge and FAQ agents, content experiences, domain discovery, and intelligent automation
Translate loosely defined product problems into practical AI solutions
Evaluate different approaches and independently turn the strongest solution into reliable, secure, observable, and cost-efficient production systems
Design and build production AI services using Python, FastAPI, asynchronous workers, PostgreSQL, Redis, queues, model APIs, and external tools
Build reliable tool-calling agents and multi-step workflows interacting with internal APIs, MCP tools, business systems, and knowledge sources
Design event-driven systems with retries, dead-letter handling, idempotency, back pressure, and failure recovery
Build and improve RAG systems covering ingestion, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking, metadata filtering, context construction, and citations
Experiment with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, and open-weight ecosystems
Create AI evaluation pipelines using curated datasets, regression tests, retrieval metrics, LLM-as-judge techniques, groundedness checks, and tool-execution evaluation
Use AI coding agents to accelerate design, implementation, testing, debugging, and refactoring
Turn product goals into testable technical hypotheses and rapidly prototype alternatives
Define quality, latency, reliability, safety, and cost targets and measure production performance
Own implementation across APIs, workflows, data, queues, model integration, evaluations, observability, and production support
Requirements
5 or more years of professional software engineering experience building production backend, distributed, or cloud-based systems
Hands-on experience building Applied AI, LLM, RAG, NLP, or agent-based applications, with meaningful production exposure
Advanced Python skills including FastAPI, asynchronous programming, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy or SQLModel, and production API development
Strong backend and distributed systems fundamentals including REST APIs, concurrency, background processing, caching, reliability, and production debugging
Production experience with RabbitMQ, Kafka, Azure Service Bus, or equivalent queue and messaging architectures
Hands-on experience integrating LLM APIs and building structured output, function calling, tool calling, or agent execution workflows
Experience building at least one RAG or knowledge-grounded system with measurable quality and latency outcomes
Strong PostgreSQL and data modeling skills, with experience using Redis, pgvector, vector databases, or hybrid search technologies
Demonstrated use of AI coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or equivalent tools as a core part of daily software engineering
Comfort understanding how modern AI systems behave, fail, and scale in production
Strong understanding of prompting, structured outputs, tool schemas, context management, model routing, retries, fallbacks, rate limits, and streaming responses
Ability to design experiments and evaluations using measurable outcomes
Understanding of retrieval quality, grounding, hallucination mitigation, prompt injection risks, tool authorization, and practical agent guardrails
Experience with Docker, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, distributed tracing, OpenTelemetry, Langfuse, or similar tooling
Experience with Semantic Kernel, Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, PydanticAI, or equivalent agent frameworks
Experience building or consuming Model Context Protocol tools and servers, or working with model gateways such as LiteLLM
