Responsibilities:

• Architect and deploy intelligent features using Cloud AI services, with a strong focus on building generative AI workflows, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic pipelines
• Develop serverless backends (e.g., AWS Lambda, API Gateway) and microservices that interface seamlessly with foundational machine learning models
• Optimize data ingestion pipelines and database queries (SQL and NoSQL) to support context-rich AI prompts and high-performance inference
• Set up, maintain, and secure automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins CI or similar cloud-native tooling to support continuous deployment of both software and ML integrations
• Define technical requirements, break down tasks for complex engineering projects, and mentor junior developers on enterprise best practices
• Consolidate legacy processes and automate critical workflows to drastically reduce manual business workloads and cycle times
• Incorporate AI-driven features (such as predictive text, intelligent search, automated categorization, or voice interfaces) directly into user-facing web and mobile frontends to improve user experience
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities into existing PHP backend API
• Write and implement software tooling to develop a new build pipeline in parallel with existing legacy tools
• Provide thought leadership to architecture, design, and modernization approaches and activities. Contribute to architecture decisions and long-term technical roadmap
