About the Role We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong foundation in Java , solid Python capabilities, and hands-on experience building Agentic AI applications that integrate with Large Language Models (LLMs) . This role blends traditional backend engineering expertise with next-generation AI agentic systems development, requiring not just system design skills, but also creativity in prompt engineering, AI product development and working with data-rich environments. You will contribute to the design and implementation of intelligent backend services that coordinate LLMs, agents, and data workflows to support enterprise-grade agentic systems. Key Responsibilities • Develop robust, scalable Java/Python based backend systems that enable the orchestration of Agentic AI workflows . • Develop state-of-the-art AI/ML models for solving real-world data management challenges such as entity resolution, classification, similarity matching, and anomaly detection. • Integrate LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Mistral, Claude, LLaMA) into backend pipelines to power autonomous or semi-autonomous decision-making. • Develop scalable ML workflows using Spark, MLlib, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or MLFlow , with seamless integration into production systems. • Translate business needs into technical design and collaborate with data scientists, product managers, and platform engineers to operationalize models. • Work closely with various stakeholders to design agent architectures and LLM toolchains (using frameworks like LangGraph, Crew AI, AutoGen, etc.). • Implement services and APIs that manage prompt chaining , tool invocation , and contextual memory for agents. • Collaborate with data engineers to ensure clean, efficient, and real-time access to structured and semi-structured data. • Apply prompt engineering best practices to improve agent behavior, task accuracy, and adaptability. • Monitor and optimize service performance, reliability, and scalability in production environments. • Continuously monitor and improve model performance using feedback loops, A/B testing, drift detection, and retraining strategies. • Contribute to code reviews, mentoring, and best practices for hybrid backend/AI development. Required Qualifications • 5+ years of overall experience in backend engineering, with strong proficiency in Java for scalable, distributed systems. • 2+ years of experience in developing and deploying machine learning models and AI products in production environments. • Experience in Agentic AI systems development using tools such as LangGraph , Crew AI , AutoGen , or similar. • Proficiency in Python (NumPy, scikit-learn, pandas, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and experience with large-scale data processing tools ( Spark, Kafka, Airflow ). • Experience integrating or orchestrating LLMs within business workflows or intelligent assistants. • Solid understanding of prompt engineering techniques (e.g., system messages, chaining, tool invocation prompts). • Familiarity with data engineering concepts , including pipelines, data models, and ETL workflows. • Strong grasp of object-oriented design , data structures , and algorithms . Preferred Qualifications • Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain,…
