Job Summary
Demand Unit Name: Agentic AI Engineer II – Agent Orchestration & RAG Workflows
Band : E2.1
Target : Engineering Graduates from Tier 1 Institutions (IIT, NIT, DTU)
Purpose of the Role:
The Agentic AI Engineer II will contribute to the design, development, and optimization of agentic AI systems, multi-agent orchestration frameworks, and advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows. The role focuses on building intelligent, autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, and interacting across enterprise systems while ensuring robust performance, accuracy, and scalability.
As high-potential engineers from premier institutions, they will work closely with senior architects and AI teams to deliver next-generation AI capabilities for real-world enterprise applications.
Key Responsibilities
Responsibilities:
-
Develop and enhance agentic workflows using LLM-based agents, decision-making loops, and orchestration frameworks.
-
Implement and optimize RAG pipelines including document ingestion, chunking strategies, embedding generation, vector search, and retrieval ranking.
-
Build and maintain reusable components for agent orchestration frameworks (state management, tool invocation, memory modules, guardrails).
-
Assist in constructing multi-agent systems that collaborate, negotiate, and coordinate tasks for complex enterprise workflows.
-
Work with senior engineers to integrate agents with APIs, microservices, and enterprise platforms for end-to-end automation.
-
Contribute to experimentation, evaluation, and benchmarking of agent behavior, retrieval quality, and task success rates.
-
Participate in full lifecycle engineering: design discussions, code reviews, testing, and documentation.
-
Troubleshoot issues, analyze logs and outputs, and propose improvements to reliability and performance.
-
Continuously learn emerging AI techniques, frameworks, and best practices to elevate solution maturity.

Understanding of cloud environments (Azure/AWS/GCP) and containerization basics (Docker).
Other Requirements
Desirable :
-
Exposure to autonomous agent frameworks (e.g., Re Act, Reflexion, Auto Gen, CrewAI).
-
Knowledge of RLHF concepts, tool-using agents, and planning algorithms.
-
Experience in building small AI projects, hackathon prototypes, or research Po Cs.
-
Familiarity with CI/CD, Kubernetes, MLflow, experiment tracking, or observability tools.
-
Understanding of advanced RAG enhancements (rerankers, hybrid search, graph-based retrieval, query rewriting).
Behavioral Competencies :
-
Strong analytical thinking, curiosity, and eagerness to explore emerging AI technologies.
-
Ability to learn rapidly and apply concepts to real-world engineering problems.
-
Collaborative mindset with openness to feedback, mentorship, and peer learning.
