AI Developer

Tech@Lilly

Full-Time

R2-3

Are you passionate about designing and building AI-powered applications that bring together large language models, agentic workflows, and full stack engineering to solve real business problems?

Do you thrive working across the stack — AI/LLM integration, backend services, modern frontend frameworks, and cloud deployment — while staying curious about what GenAI can unlock next?

As an AI Full Stack Engineer, you will design and develop AI-powered applications using Large Language Models, build Agentic AI workflows leveraging tools, reasoning, memory, and orchestration patterns, and develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions using enterprise knowledge sources. You will work across the full stack — building responsive frontend applications, scalable backend services and APIs, and cloud-native deployments on AWS — while integrating AI services with business applications and ensuring systems are secure, reliable, and production-ready.

What You’ll Be Doing:

· Design and build AI-powered applications using Large Language Models, agentic AI workflows, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions built on enterprise knowledge sources.

· Integrate AI services with business applications and external systems, and continuously evaluate, optimize, and monitor AI application performance and quality.

· Build responsive, modern frontend applications and scalable backend services and APIs, using reusable components and clean, maintainable code.

· Deploy and manage applications on cloud platforms (preferably AWS), building CI/CD pipelines, containerizing with Docker, and orchestrating workloads with Kubernetes.

· Design and manage SQL and NoSQL databases, integrate enterprise systems and third-party services, and ensure secure, compliant handling of data.

· Collaborate closely with product teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions, and implement monitoring, logging, and observability best practices.

What You Will Bring:

· Strong understanding of LLMs, Prompt Engineering, RAG, and Agentic AI concepts, with hands-on experience using frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, or LlamaIndex.

· Experience integrating AI models through OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, or equivalent services, along with working knowledge of vector databases and semantic search.

· Strong proficiency in Python, with experience building APIs using FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks, and a solid understanding of microservices architecture and API design.

· Practical experience with React and TypeScript, building modern, responsive user interfaces with strong attention to frontend performance and usability.

· Hands-on experience with AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes, and CI/CD implementation using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, or similar tools, along with infrastructure deployment and environment management experience.

· Strong knowledge of relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQL Server, with experience in NoSQL and vector databases preferred.

How You Will Succeed:

· Delivers production-ready AI applications with high quality and reliability.

· Independently drives features from design through deployment.

· Builds reusable and scalable solutions that can support multiple business teams.

· Improves developer productivity through automation and engineering best practices.

· Continuously explores and adopts emerging AI capabilities to solve business problems.
