Gen AI Engineer

BeaconFire is based in Central NJ, specializing in Software Development, Web Development, and Business Intelligence; looking for a strong agentic AI developer who can build and productionize Vertex AI–based RAG systems (Vertex AI Search / Vertex AI RAG patterns), design reliable tool-using agents, and work comfortably with vector databases and graph databases. You’ll own end-to-end delivery: ingestion, retrieval, agent orchestration, evaluation, and deployment. Job Responsibilities: • Collaborate with the team to design and develop high quality Web applications using • Python, Flask, Django, and related technologies. • Write clean and efficient code, and ensure code maintainability and reusability. • Design and implement RAG pipelines on Google Cloud / Vertex AI (chunking, • embeddings, indexing, retrieval, reranking, grounding). • Build agentic workflows (tool use, planning, reflection/guardrails, structured outputs) • using Python-first frameworks. • Perform code reviews to ensure code quality and consistency. • Conduct testing to ensure application quality and reliability. • Create and maintain technical documentation for web applications. • Participate in project planning, estimation, and prioritization. • Stay up to date with the latest technologies for Python development. • Define and run evaluation (retrieval metrics, answer quality, hallucination/grounding • checks), and improve system quality iteratively. • Ship to production: APIs, monitoring/observability, cost/performance optimization, CI/CD, • and security best practices. Requirement: • Experience in software development in Python3. • Decent understanding of the software development/testing life cycle. • Knowledge of relational databases (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc)slanguage skills • Experience with version control tools, such as Git. • Experience building RAG solutions (hybrid search, reranking, chunking strategies, • embeddings, prompt + schema design). • Familiar with at least one agentic framework (e.g., LangGraph/LangChain, LlamaIndex, • Semantic Kernel, AutoGen) and tool/function calling patterns.
