Job Responsibilities:

• Pipeline Monitoring & Triage: actively monitor live Agentic workflows and scraping pipelines. Identify failures (e.g., stuck agents, failed scrapes, API timeouts), diagnose the root cause, and determine if it requires a quick fix or an escalation.
• L1/L2 Code Maintenance: Perform initial debugging of Python-based automation scripts. Fix minor logic bugs, dependency issues, or data formatting errors in the codebase.
• Prompt Engineering & Adjustment: Analyze LLM outputs for quality. Perform minor adjustments to system prompts or parameters (temperature, max tokens) to correct formatting or adherence issues without retraining models.
• RAG Operations: Assist in maintaining vector databases (Pinecone/Milvus). Handle re-indexing requests and verify that semantic search results are retrieving relevant context (checking for data staleness or embedding mismatches).
• AWS Operational Support: Manage the operational health of services on AWS (monitoring CloudWatch logs, managing S3 buckets, checking Lambda execution states).
• Issue Escalation: Create detailed, technically rich bug reports for the Senior AI team when deep model fine-tuning or architectural changes are required (e.g., Model consistently fails on X edge case due to loss function Y, rather than just Model isnt working).

Requirements:

Required Skills

• Scripting & Programming: Proficient in Python (ability to read complex code, debug errors, and write maintenance scripts using Pandas/NumPy).
• Cloud Operations: Practical experience with AWS core services (specifically analyzing logs in CloudWatch, managing storage in S3, and troubleshooting Lambda/EC2 basics).
• AI/LLM Literacy: Solid understanding of LLM concepts (Prompts, Tokens, Context Windows). Ability to troubleshoot hallucinations vs. retrieval failures in RAG systems.
• Version Control: Mandatory proficiency with GIT (pull requests, branching, and resolving merge conflicts).
• Problem Solving: A detective mindset for tracing errors through distributed system logs.

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have)

• Containerization: Basic familiarity with Docker (building images, running containers, checking logs).
