Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve issues in GenAI-powered code translation pipelines

Collaborate with dev and client teams to ensure alignment with project goals and deliver high-quality solutions

Maintain and fine-tune RAG application that supports the migration process, specifically optimizing LLM prompts for pattern recognition

Build and maintain FastAPI-based microservices that orchestrate the migration workflow

Implement RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems using LangChain /Langgraph/LlamaIndex for contextual code understanding

Design stateful migration workflows using LangGraph/LangChain/LlamaIndex for complex multi-step transformations

Mandatory work from the office 5 days per week

Skills

Must have

Proficiency in Python development (5+ years), with specific expertise in:

FastAPI for building high-performance REST APIs and WebSocket connections
