  • Implement MCP integrations and connect AI models to enterprise data sources
  • Optimize AI application logic and improve performance at the application layer
  • Collaborate in Agile teams to translate business needs into scalable software solutions
  • Debug and enhance existing AI systems with strong engineering discipline



Core Skills


  • Advanced Python development (clean architecture, API design, async programming)
  • Proven experience of software development experience
  • Experience building AI/ML solutions using Python (not just calling APIs)
  • Production experience integrating LLMs into applications
  • Experience implementing RAG or retrieval-based AI systems
  • Strong backend engineering fundamentals
