• Vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) and RAG architectures
• MongoDB or NoSQL experience
• Multi-provider AI abstractions and failover strategies
• GraphQL, workflow orchestration (Temporal, Airflow), Kubernetes
• Observability tools (Datadog, Sentry, ELK)
• LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks

Responsibilities

• Integrate and manage multiple AI providers (LLMs, image/video generation) with smart fallback and cost optimization
• Design and optimize prompt engineering strategies for consistent, high-quality AI outputs
• Build high-performance REST/GraphQL APIs using Django and FastAPI with async processing
• Develop real-time features using SSE, WebSockets, and background task processing (Celery)
• Architect scalable microservices with robust error handling, rate limiting, and monitoring
• Optimize database queries, implement caching strategies, and design efficient data models
• Implement RAG pipelines and vector embeddings for context-aware AI responses
• Write comprehensive tests, maintain CI/CD pipelines, and conduct code reviews
