Pay
$5k–25k
Setting
On-site

Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement asynchronous multi-agent orchestration for Dhruva, our AI agent.
  • Own end-to-end latency from user message to AI response.
  • Build resilient inference-calling pipelines that gracefully degrade under load.
  • Implement intelligent request routing and load balancing across AI workloads and providers.
  • Migrate critical AI conversation flow from monolith to dedicated services.
  • Implement WebSocket/streaming infrastructure for real-time chat.
  • Design circuit breakers and fallback strategies for AI model failures.
  • Build comprehensive observability for AI system performance, latency, error rates, and fallback triggers.
  • Optimise credit data retrieval and caching strategies feeding into AI conversations.


Requirements:

  • 3-5 years building production systems handling > 10k concurrent users.
  • Proven experience with async/event-driven architectures (not just REST APIs).
  • Hands-on experience scaling AI inference calls in production, routing, batching client-side, and retries.
  • Deep understanding of caching strategies (Redis, in-memory, CDN).
  • Experience with message queues and real-time communication protocols (WebSocket, SSE, Kafka or similar).


AI-Specific Expertise:

  • Built systems integrating multiple LLM/AI models or providers in production, with fallback between them.
  • Experience working against AI model serving endpoints (TensorFlow Serving, Triton, vLLM, or hosted LLM APIs).
  • Understanding of inference optimisation from the application side: batching, response caching, prompt/context size management.
  • Knowledge of conversation state management and context handling across multi-turn, multi-agent flows.
  • Has debugged production issues under high AI inference load.
