LLM Platform Engineer/Lead

Kayzen Bangalore, India

About the role

This is a remote LLM platform engineering and technical-lead role open from EMEA or Bangalore. You'll create shared AI frameworks, SDKs, workflows, and operating practices that help teams ship reliable AI features without building every integration from scratch. The role is aimed at a senior engineer with production LLM experience and strong Python, platform, and systems-design skills.

What you’ll do

  • Build internal AI frameworks, SDKs, and shared libraries.
  • Define reusable patterns for LLMs, embeddings, agents, and workflows.
  • Create tooling for prompt management, evaluation, observability, safety, cost control, and reliability.
  • Help teams adopt AI through documentation, examples, and hands-on guidance.
  • Prototype AI features and turn successful approaches into shared building blocks.
  • Own AI tooling from experimentation through production.

What they’re looking for

  • Hands-on experience with LLM APIs such as OpenAI or Anthropic.
  • Experience with RAG, embeddings, and vector databases.
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering, versioning, evaluation, and orchestration frameworks.
  • Understanding of AI observability, cost monitoring, and failure modes.
  • At least one LLM-powered production feature shipped and improved using telemetry or feedback.
  • Comfort with vector search, tokenization, fine-tuning, and evaluation methods.
  • Experience with data lakes, warehouses, feature stores, ETL, and cloud platforms.
  • Excellent Python skills and experience building platforms or developer tooling.
  • Strong API, service-design, and systems-design fundamentals.
  • Ability to turn complex AI capabilities into simple reusable abstractions.

Nice to have

  • Experience with agent systems and tool calling.
  • Experience with guardrails, moderation, or safety checks.
  • Familiarity with Docker, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD.
  • Previous work on a platform or enablement team.

What’s on offer

  • Remote work from EMEA or Bangalore.
  • Direct reporting to the co-founder and CTO.
  • A visible role with access to company leadership.
  • $500 home-office setup budget.
  • $1,000 annual learning and development budget.
  • Flexible work-from-home arrangement.
