Job DescriptionWe are at the forefront of developing cutting-edge AI solutions that push the boundaries of machine learning, LLM applications, and agentic AI. Our team builds real-world AI systems and deploys scalable, production-ready solutions across Oracle's enterprise customers.
We are seeking a highly experienced engineer to contribute to the design and deployment of advanced AI systems, including LLM-powered agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and structured AI workflows. As part of our growing team, you will evaluate, prototype, and optimize next-generation agentic AI technologies. This role is ideal for individuals passionate about building and delivering AI solutions that are accurate, reliable, and trusted at enterprise scale. You will play a key role in advancing Oracle's AI strategy-especially in LLMs, Generative AI, and intelligent agent-driven applications.
ResponsibilitiesAI & LLM System Development - Design, implement, and deploy AI-driven applications using STOA LLM, Oracle GenAI technologies, and agent evaluation frameworks.
- Build and optimize LLM-powered agents for industry-specific workflows.
- Implement RAG pipelines, structured outputs, and function/tool calling to enable grounded, traceable, and multi-step reasoning.
- Select, version, and optimize foundation models and prompt strategies to meet privacy, latency, cost, and safety objectives.
- Implement guardrails, uncertainty handling, human-in-the-loop processes, and evidence-grounded citations.
- Adapt LLMs to customer domains using prompt engineering, instruction tuning, preference optimization, and domain-specific data.
Evaluation & Quality Assurance - Evaluate AI methods on industry-relevant datasets to ensure outputs are accurate, reliable, and trustworthy.
- Maintain evaluation harnesses, regression tests, and golden datasets to monitor model performance.
- Conduct systematic error analysis, bias assessments, red-teaming, and active learning to improve quality and close gaps.
- Present insights and findings to internal and external technical audiences.
Data & Platform Engineering - Integrate search and NLP technologies, including semantic search, conversational search, and summarization.
- Work with Oracle Vector Database and other retrieval systems to optimize AI performance.
- Build and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines and scalable data flows supporting domain adaptation.
- Ensure data security, privacy, and compliance with PHI/PII regulations across all AI workflows.
Production & Cloud-Native Operations - Productionize AI services with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, orchestration, and autoscaling.
- Instrument traces, metrics, and logs across prompts, retrieval, tools, agents, and model outputs.
- Enforce SLAs through canary and blue-green rollouts with safe rollback procedures.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to scale AI offerings across enterprise environments.
- Mentor engineers and foster a culture of engineering excellence.
Software Development & Tooling - Develop and maintain robust software toolkits in Python, Node.js, and Java to support applied scientists in building, testing, and deploying ML models and agent frameworks.
- Design and implement cloud-based services and APIs for model execution, orchestration, asynchronous communication, and multimodal workflows.
- Produce well-structured sample code and reference implementations, including integrations with LLM APIs, to promote best practices.
- Apply deep knowledge of algorithms, data structures, concurrent programming, and distributed systems to build high-performance and maintainable software.
Collaboration & Technical Leadership - Partner closely with applied scientists, platform engineers, and cloud infrastructure teams to gather requirements and deliver frictionless ML workflows.
- Produce clear and comprehensive documentation for infrastructure, APIs, designs, troubleshooting, and best practices.
- Participate in code reviews, provide mentorship, incorporate feedback, and help shape engineering standards.
- Conduct systematic error analysis, bias assessments, red-teaming exercises, and active learning to continuously improve quality and close gaps.
- Stay current with emerging trends in AI infrastructure, agent frameworks, HPC systems, and cloud-native technologies; evaluate and integrate them where appropriate.
Qualifications - Minimum of 12 years of experience in software engineering or AI/ML system development.
- Proven expertise in agentic workflows, LLMOps, RAG architectures, or intelligent automation.
- Strong experience with distributed, high-performance, or cloud-native systems.
- Proficiency in Python and Node.js and familiarity with modern ML/AI libraries.
- Experience with vector databases (Oracle Vector Database preferred).
- Experience deploying AI applications/services on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or OCI.
- Demonstrated experience in data collection, annotation, evaluation pipelines, and systematic AI model validation.
- Experience building 0 1 products in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
- Leadership experience mentoring senior and early-career engineers or scientists.
- Strong communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
- Commitment to staying current with advancements in LLMs, Generative AI, and cloud-native AI/ML technologies.
