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).
• 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.
