This role is hands-on: you will build customer-facing features across frontend and backend, define non-functional requirements, and ensure AI integrations are safe, reliable, measurable, and cost-effective.
About You – experience, education, skills, and accomplishments
- Strong web-focussed development skills
- Effective communicator at all levels, excellent inter-personal skills, strong business focus
- Highly self-motivated, confident to work on projects alone as well as in a team
- An enthusiastic approach to extending knowledge and learning new skills
- Strong commitment to quality of work and a good attention to detail
Expert in
- Java 11/17, Spring Boot (REST APIs, microservices)
- Microservices architecture (API contracts, versioning, service decomposition)
- Angular 18+, NodeJS (micro frontends)
- Scalable system design (event-driven, distributed systems)
- Non-functional architecture (latency, security, observability)
Must have experience in
- End-to-end product delivery (UI–API–data–production support)
- Software design patterns
- RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, retrieval orchestration)
- Prompt engineering (few-shot, structured outputs, guardrails)
- AI assistants & agents (tool calling, workflows, memory patterns)
- AI evaluation (Ragas, prompt testing, regression evaluation)
- Production readiness (monitoring, alerting, incident response)
- Debugging distributed systems (logs, tracing, root cause analysis)
- Working with continuous integration environments
It would be great if you also had
- AI integration (Azure OpenAI/OpenAI APIs)
- CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps)
- Vector databases (Azure AI Search, Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS)
- Responsible AI (prompt injection defense, PII masking, policy enforcement)
- Experimentation (A/B testing, feature flags – Split.io)
- Platform thinking (shared AI services, reusable components)
What will you be doing in this role?
Product Development
- Partner with Product, BA, UX and architects to drive solution architecture, technical specifications, and delivery plans.
- Document non-functional requirements (latency, availability, security, scalability, observability) and ensure features meet agreed targets.
- Build microservices and RESTful APIs using Java 11/17 and Spring Boot; apply clean architecture principles, API versioning, backward compatibility, and secure-by-default patterns.
- Build frontend components in Angular 18+ including state management, modular design, performance optimization, accessibility, and consistent UX patterns.
- Focus on operational readiness (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting).
AI Development
- Implement AI integrations, including RAG patterns, embeddings, prompt orchestration, and prompt safety/guardrails.
- Build AI assistants and agent-based workflows embedded into product experiences, including tool/function calling, multi-step reasoning flows, and user feedback loops.
- Write and maintain high-quality prompts and system instructions; apply prompt engineering best practices, structured outputs, and robust error handling.
- Design retrieval pipelines: chunking strategies, embedding selection, indexing approaches, and relevance tuning; choose and integrate vector databases as appropriate.
- Establish evaluation (AI eval) practices: define success metrics, build offline/online evaluation datasets, implement regression tests, and monitor quality drift in production.
- Ensure responsible AI practices: data privacy, PII handling, prompt injection mitigation, content safety, and secure integration of model endpoints.
- Optimize AI feature performance with respect to latency and cost, batching, streaming responses, fallback strategies, and graceful degradation.
Collaboration
- Communicate trade-offs clearly to stakeholders; drive alignment on scope, milestones, quality bars, and risk mitigation.
- Contribute to technical roadmap and platform improvements (developer experience, shared libraries, observability, security posture).
