AI/ML engineer Scottzdale - AZ - Arizona

AIML Engineer

Location: Scotsdale, AZ

We are seeking an experienced AIML Engineer to design, build, and operate AlML infrastructure and agentic systems. This role involves developing MCP servers and agents, integrating LLMs, and implementing RAG pipelines for production environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build and operate MCP servers and
  
  

MCP agents that host, orchestrate and monitor Alagent workloads.

• Develop agentic Al, prompt engineering patterns, LLM integrations and developer tooling for production use.
  
  

Own deployment, scaling, reliability and cost-efficiency on KubernetesDocker and Google Cloud with automated CICD

Design and implement RAG

(Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines and integrations with vector stores and retrieval tooling use LangChain and Langfuse for orchestration, chaining, and observability.

Core Responsibilities

Implement and maintain MCP server and agent code, APls, and SKs for model access and agent orchestration.

Design agent behavior, workflows and

safety guards for agentic Al systems.

Create, test and iterate prompt templates,

evaluation harnesses and

groundingchain-of-thought strategies.

Integrate LLMs and model providers

(self-hosted and cloud APls) with unified adapters and telemetry.

• Build developer tooling: CLI, local runner,
  
  

simulators, and debugging tools for agents and prompts.

• Containerize services (Docker), manage
  
  

orchestration (KubernetesGKE), and optimize nodes, autoscaling and resource requests.

• Ensure observability: logging, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerting and SLOs for model infra and agents.
  
  

Create runbooks, playbooks and incident response procedures reduce MTTR and perform postmortems.

• Design and maintain RAG workflows:
  
  

document chunking, embeddings, vector indexing, retrieval strategies, re-ranking and context injection.

• Integrate and instrument LangChain for
  
  

composable chains, agents and tooling use Langfuse (or equivalent tracing) to capture prompts, model calls, RAG traces and evaluation telemetry.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5 years of Strong Software Engineering (PythonNodeJS), system design and production service experience.
• 2 years of Experience with LLMs, prompt
  
  

engineering, and agent frameworks.

2 years of Experience Practical experience implementing RAG: embeddings, vector DBs and retrieval tuning.

2 years of Experience with LangChain patterns and with toolchain telemetry (Langfuse or similar) for promptmodel traceability.

• 5 years of Experience with Kubernetes,
  
  

Docker, CICD and infrastructure-as-code experience.

2 years of Experience with Practical experience with Google Cloud Platform services

• 2 years of Experience with Observability, testing, and security best practices for distributed systems.
  
  

2 years of Experience with evaluating and mitigating retrievalaugmentation failures, hallucinations, and leakage risks in RAG systems.

• Familiarity with vendor and open-source
  
  

vector stores and embedding providers.

• Familiarity with CICD pipelines (Jenkins,
  
  

GitHub Actions, GitLab Cl, or ArgoCD).
