AI Engineer

Senior AI Engineer

Code Generation, Agent Architecture & LLM Systems

📍 Mumbai (On-site) | Full-time | 5+ years

About the Role:

Unico Connect is an AI-first technology partner that builds custom mobile, web, and AI products for clients across multiple geographies.

We are hiring a Senior AI Engineer for a dedicated client engagement focused on building an AI-powered application builder platform - a product where users describe software in plain English and the system generates, previews, and iteratively refines working code.

The mandatory requirement for this role is hands-on production experience shipping LLM-powered systems with agent architectures, with experience in code generation or developer tooling contexts a strong advantage.

The role is product-focused and deeply hands-on. You will own everything between the user's prompt and correct code landing in the project: the agentic loop, code generation pipeline, context management, evaluation suite, and model cost strategy.

You will work alongside the Senior MLOps Engineer who operationalises the infrastructure around your system, and collaborate closely with backend, frontend, and DevOps engineers.

Responsibilities:

Agent Architecture

Design and own the agentic loop for the platform - request interpretation, planning, tool-calling sequence (read file, edit file, run build, search code, install package), and stop conditions.

Make and revisit architectural decisions on single-agent vs. multi-agent designs, including planner/executor splits and dedicated build-repair sub-agents.

Code Generation Pipeline

Own the end-to-end generation flow: task classification, context gathering, planning, targeted edits, verification, and commit.

Implement diff/search-replace-based file editing with fuzzy matching and fallback strategies.

Enforce scope discipline so the agent makes minimal diffs and does not modify code it was not asked to touch.

Self-Repair Loop

Build and tune the automated repair loop that pipes compiler, lint, build, and runtime errors back to the model with retry budgets and model escalation.

This loop is the primary quality lever - the difference between 60-70% and 90%+ build success rates.

Context Management

Build file-relevance retrieval so the agent sees the right files, not the whole codebase: dependency graphs, AST/tree-sitter-based chunking, embeddings, recency signals, and hybrid retrieval.

Implement conversation summarisation and memory for long sessions, and address long-project degradation through codebase summaries and periodic consistency passes.

Own token budgeting and prompt caching strategy.

Prompt Engineering as a Discipline

Own the system prompt and per-task prompt variants (new feature, bug fix, styling change).

Maintain few-shot examples and enforce coding conventions, stack rules, and prohibited behaviours such as no hardcoded secrets and no whole-file rewrites.

Version prompts like code with changelogs and rollback capability.

Evaluation and Quality Measurement

Design and own the evaluation suite: representative test prompts run on every prompt and model change, scored on build success rate, instruction adherence, and output quality including LLM-as-judge and visual/screenshot checks where relevant.

Define regression gates that block quality-degrading changes from shipping.

Treat evals the way engineers treat automated testing: versioned, automated, and tracked over time.

This responsibility is non-negotiable at this level.

Model Strategy and Cost

Design model routing - cheap and fast models for classification and small edits, frontier models for complex generation.

Drive cost optimisation through prompt caching, diff-based edits over full-file rewrites, and tighter context selection.

Track cost per agent run and tokens per task; evaluate new model releases against the eval suite and lead migrations when results justify it.

Safety and Reliability of Agent Behaviour

Defend against prompt injection from user content and fetched web content.

Ensure secrets never appear in generated client code.

Define what the agent's tools may and may not do in collaboration with the platform team.

Contribute to output moderation and abuse-pattern awareness.

Mentorship and Engineering Standards

Run code reviews, define engineering conventions for AI work, and raise the engineering bar across the AI team.

Work closely with the Senior MLOps Engineer on handoff of eval design, prompt configurations, and model routing logic.

Requirements:

Hands-on Production Ownership of LLM-Powered Systems with Agent Architectures (Mandatory)

Must have personally shipped and operated at least one complex production AI system - agentic, multi-step, or code generation - with end-to-end ownership of architecture, evaluation, and cost.

POCs, internal demos, and tutorial-grade work do not qualify.

5+ Years of Professional Software or AI Engineering Experience

With at least 3 years focused on LLM applications, AI engineering, or production AI systems.

Candidates with strong backend backgrounds and a clear, substantive pivot into LLM systems qualify.

Strong Python Proficiency and Service Development

Production-grade Python with FastAPI or equivalent: type hints, async patterns, streaming responses, testing, and packaging.

Not notebook-only.

Depth Across LLM APIs and Agent Systems

Production experience with at least two of OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or open-weight models (vLLM, Ollama, Together).

Production experience with at least one agent framework (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex Agents) or hand-rolled equivalent.

Hands-on with tool calling, structured outputs, and multi-step reasoning.

Demonstrated, Systematic Evaluation Practice - Non-Negotiable

Must have built evaluation harnesses that gate production releases, not ad-hoc testing.

Hands-on with at least one of LangSmith, Langfuse, Promptfoo, Ragas, or DeepEval.

Candidates with no systematic answer to evaluation should not be considered at senior level regardless of other strengths.

Cost Discipline for Production AI

Track record of measurable cost optimisation on production AI features.

Able to speak in specifics: cost per request, savings achieved through caching or model routing, context reduction decisions.

AWS Working Knowledge

Hands-on with EC2, S3, IAM, and Docker.

Comfort with CI/CD workflows and deploying AI services.

Awareness of LLM Security Failure Modes

Familiar with prompt injection patterns, understands that system prompt rules alone are insufficient, and has experience with output validation and content safety in production.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AST/tree-sitter tooling, diff-based editing systems, or compiler-adjacent work
• MCP server authoring
• Open-source AI contributions
• Published technical writing on LLM systems
• Multi-modal model experience
• Fine-tuning exposure (LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT)

Role :

A Software Engineer who builds the tools this company runs on. You build agent loops, and the loops build the solutions. You work towards a Company Brain that anyone here can ask.3–5 years’ experience · Reports to the CFO · 

THE KEY SKILL

You build the agent loops that build the solutions. You will not write every automation by hand. You build the loops that

write them. Ship a prototype every week. You ship something every day.

You’ll be building a Company Brain with access control. One system that holds what the company knows about finance,delivery and people. Anyone can ask it a question. Each person sees only what they are cleared to see.

One hard filter. If you cannot write and debug production code, and have not done it before, please do not apply.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Work the backlog: You pick items off a live, ranked backlog. You learn each function by building inside it. There is no discovery phase. What you learn goes back into the backlog and changes what comes next.

• Build the product: You design, build and ship tools that people use every day. Reconciliation, MIS, the deal desk,quote to cash, or whatever the real bottleneck turns out to be. You choose the tools and frameworks.

• Wire the data: Connect the systems each team already uses, so that the same number means the same thing everywhere.

• Make it visible: You build live dashboards and alerts that leaders read on their own, instead of asking someone for a report.

• Keep it running: You own uptime and accuracy for everything you build. Anything that touches money or people needs a person in the loop.

THE STACK

• Build with: Python and TypeScript. You write production code. Frontier model APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, with tool calling and structured output. At least one agent framework. MCP to connect agents to internal systems.Postgres and pgvector, or something similar, for retrieval. You deploy on GCP, and you debug your own work.

• Work in agents daily: Claude Code, Cursor or something like them, as the way you write code every day. You should have a clear view on how to run the loop, and on when a person has to step in.

• Connect to: The systems we already run on for accounting, CRM, hiring and IT support, along with Google Workspace.Most of the work is getting them to agree with each other.

• Check what you ship: Anything that produces a number needs a way to catch it going quietly wrong. Test sets, regression checks, and alerts on the output as well as on the job.

WHAT GOOD LOOKS LIKE

• Something you built is running by week two, and someone is using it.

• By day 90, time spent on reconciliation or reporting is down by a number you can defend to the CFO.

• Every tool you ship has a named owner who is still using it 60 days later. That is the measure that counts.

• Leaders stop asking for numbers, because they can already see them.

• By the end of your first year, a first version of the Company Brain answers real questions about Finance, and each

person who asks sees only what they are cleared to see.

WHO THIS IS FOR

• You have built products: 3 to 5 years at a software product company, on a product with real users at scale. That means 100k+ monthly active users, or heavy daily use by a large enterprise customer base. You have owned code in production, in front of real users, long after it shipped.

• You ship alone: You are comfortable as the only engineer in the room, and the only person on call for what you built.

• You work out new ground fast: A domain you do not know is interesting to you. You start without waiting for a spec or an expert.

• You are fluent with agents: One person cannot cover a whole company by hand. You use agent loops heavily and youare good at it.

• You write and speak clearly: Half this job is pulling a process out of a finance or delivery lead and giving it back to them correctly. You work remotely, so this matters a great deal.

HOW WE WILL ASSESS

• A design problem: Live. We give you a function of the B2B company, and you design the system for it. We watch how you break down a domain you do not know, how you size it, and what you leave out on purpose.

• A build exercise: Live and screen-shared, on your own setup, with your own agents. You build the way you normally build. We watch how you run the loop, when you step in, and what you decide to skip.

• Your work and your questions: We talk about what you have shipped before. You ask us whatever you want.

Communication is not a separate round. All three sessions are live, and how clearly you explain your thinking is part of how we judge you.

WHERE IT LEADS

You report to the CEO and CFO from your first day. Your charter covers the whole company. Nothing sits between you and production. Very few engineering jobs offer all three at once, and that is why this one exists.

In 18 months you will know how this company really runs: the data, the money, and the gaps between teams. The rolethen changes shape to fit whatever the biggest open problem is by then.

4. Design reviews - Review designs and builds across engagements. Set the technical bar and hold it.
5. Evaluation strategy - Define how we measure accuracy, safety, latency, and cost for the AI systems we ship.
6. Guiding engineers - Raise the level of the engineers building with you, through reviews and direct pairing.
7. Feedback to the platform - Feed what you learn across engagements back into our platform and internal tools.

What we are looking for

1. Around 7 or more years of software engineering experience, including direct work with customers on design or delivery.
2. Full-stack development experience with strength in backend technologies.
3. Experience designing and building scalable applications. You understand how large-scale distributed systems work: data partitioning, queues, caching, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance.
4. At least 2 years of strong, hands-on AI experience with large language models in production.
5. You build with AI coding tools like Claude Code or Codex as your default way of working. You understand Claude Skills, have written skills yourself, use them actively, and have contributed to them.
6. Hands-on experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems: chunking, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval, and reranking.
7. Hands-on experience building AI agents.
8. Strong programming skills in Python. Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
9. Experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
10. Clear communication. You can explain an architecture decision to an engineer and to a business leader, and defend it under questioning.
11. High ownership and comfort with ambiguity. You can take an unclear problem and turn it into a design.

1. Go where the work happens. You work onsite with the customer, in the room where decisions are made.
2. Show working software early. You build a prototype in days, not a document in weeks.
3. One person owns the outcome. You are the single point of accountability for the result.
4. Stay after go-live. You keep running and improving the system after launch.

You are the single point of accountability. You are not a solo builder. A full KnackLabs engineering team in Hyderabad builds and runs the production systems behind you.

This role involves extended onsite deployments at client locations in other cities, sometimes up to six months at a stretch. Please apply only if you are ready for this way of working.

What you'll own

1. Discovery - Learn how the customer makes money. Find the highest value problem to solve first.
2. The prototype - Build a working prototype fast, using real or sample data, to prove the idea.
3. The roadmap - Decide what to build, in what order, and set clear success measures tied to business outcomes.
4. The build - Design and ship the production system with the Hyderabad engineering team. This includes data integration, agents, retrieval, and evaluations.
5. The client relationship - Be the trusted technical contact for the customer, from engineers to senior leaders.
6. Go live and after - Deploy the system, watch how it performs, fix problems, and improve it over time.
7. Feedback to the product - Share what you learn in the field so the vendor's product and our internal tools get better.

What we are looking for

1. Around 4 or more years of software engineering experience, including customer-facing or client delivery work.
2. Strong programming skills in Python. Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
3. A full-stack development experience with strength in backend technologies.
