• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable GenAI applications using LLMs and RAG pipelines
• Develop and optimize backend services and APIs for AI-powered systems
• Build and deploy agent-based workflows and orchestration systems
• Integrate LLMs into real-world enterprise applications
• Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability of AI systems in production
• Collaborate with product, data, and engineering teams to deliver end-to-end solutions
• Implement monitoring, evaluation, and guardrails for GenAI systems

Good to Have

• Exposure to frontend frameworks (React, Next.js) for fullstack roles
• Understanding of model evaluation, fine-tuning, or LLMOps
• Experience building multi-tenant or enterprise SaaS platforms

Why Join Turing

• Work on cutting-edge GenAI use cases with global enterprises
• Opportunity to build real-world AI systems at scale
• High ownership and leadership in technical decision-making
