Job Description
Job DescriptionDescription:
HyerTek is seeking an experienced AI/ML Developer to build production-grade, cloud-native AI systems that combine large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multimodal generation techniques including diagram rendering and text-to-image synthesis. The ideal candidate is fluent in orchestrating LLM workflows with prompt engineering, building scalable APIs, and deploying intelligent services in Microsoft Azure.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on delivering secure, intelligent, and highly responsive AI-driven applications in structured and unstructured data environments.
Requirements:
- Architect and develop AI services using OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo, Anthropic Claude, or equivalent LLMs via Azure OpenAI Service
- Implement RAG pipelines using vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Chroma) and Azure Cognitive Search for semantic retrieval and context grounding
- Design and orchestrate LLM prompt workflows using LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Semantic Kernel, including function calling, tool use, and multi-step agents
- Build RESTful APIs with FastAPI or Django, deployable on Azure App Service, AKS, or Azure Functions
- Develop front-end components using React or Blazor for interacting with AI-generated content and workflows
- Integrate Mermaid for dynamic generation of diagrams such as flowcharts, org charts, and process maps from natural language inputs
- Implement Stable Diffusion or related models for text-to-image generation, including integration into user-facing tools for illustration or content creation
- Build ingestion pipelines for documents and data sources (PDF, DOCX, SharePoint) to support downstream RAG and generation tasks
- Apply best practices for secure deployment, access control, and AI workload monitoring in cloud environments
Core Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience developing AI/ML-powered applications with a focus on LLMs and Python-based backends
- Strong experience with OpenAI APIs, Azure OpenAI Service, or equivalent large language model providers
- Proficiency with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks for orchestration and retrieval
- Skilled in building and deploying FastAPI or Django backends to Azure (App Services, Functions, or AKS)
- Experience with vector search systems and semantic document retrieval
- Competency in React or Blazor for building intelligent front-end interfaces
- Familiarity with Azure services including Cognitive Search, Blob Storage, App Service, and Azure ML
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience generating diagrams using Mermaid or embedding diagram-generation workflows into LLM apps
- Experience implementing or fine-tuning Stable Diffusion, ControlNet, or other image generation models for practical use cases
- Familiarity with multimodal AI architectures, including combining text, image, and document inputs/outputs
- Understanding of SCORM/xAPI, accessibility (WCAG), or instructional metadata tagging (beneficial, not required)
- Background working in compliance-driven environments (e.g., IL4/IL5, government, scientific, or education sectors
