What You'll Do

As a Core GenAI Engineer, you will build and deploy production-grade Generative AI capabilities to solve complex enterprise problems.

Your responsibilities include:

• Build and integrate LLM-powered applications, AI agents, and intelligent workflows.
• Develop RAG pipelines involving document processing, chunking, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, and context engineering.
• Work with LLMs, foundation models, prompt engineering, structured outputs, function/tool calling, and agentic workflows.
• Build data pipelines and preprocessing workflows for training and inference.
• Experiment with different LLMs, embedding models, retrieval strategies, and AI architectures.
• Develop prototypes quickly and take successful experiments to production-ready systems.
• Implement evaluation frameworks to measure accuracy, relevance, hallucination, latency, and cost of GenAI applications.
• Work with frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or equivalent technologies.
• Integrate AI capabilities with APIs, databases, enterprise applications, and backend services.
• Collaborate with experienced engineers, product managers, and AI researchers to solve real-world enterprise problems.
• Continuously evaluate emerging GenAI technologies and identify opportunities to apply them to Zycus products.

What We're Looking For

Education

• B.Tech/B.E./M.Tech/M.Sc. graduated in 2026.
• Preferred specializations: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, AI & ML, Data Science, or Computer Science with AI/ML specialization.
• Strong academic performance with solid fundamentals in computer science and mathematics.

Technical Skills

Must have:

• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Good understanding of Data Structures & Algorithms.
• Fundamentals of Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
• Hands-on exposure to Generative AI and LLMs.
• Understanding of NLP and Transformer architectures.
• Experience with LLM APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or equivalent.
• Strong data handling skills using tools like NumPy, Pandas, etc.
• Good understanding of Git/GitHub.

Good to have:

• Hands-on experience with RAG systems.
• Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or similar frameworks.
• Experience with vector databases such as FAISS, Chroma, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, etc.
• Exposure to AI Agents, function calling, tool use, MCP, or agentic workflows.
• Exposure to model fine-tuning, PEFT/LoRA, or open-source LLMs.
• Experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow.
• Knowledge of SQL and databases.
• Exposure to Docker, cloud platforms, APIs, and microservices.
• Participation in AI/ML hackathons, Kaggle, research projects, open-source projects, or technical competitions.

Internship / Project Experience

Prior hands-on experience through GenAI/AI/ML internships is highly preferred.

We especially value candidates who have built and deployed projects such as:

• RAG-based applications
• AI agents / multi-agent systems
• LLM-powered enterprise applications
• Document intelligence systems
• LLM evaluation frameworks
• AI-powered search/recommendation systems
• Fine-tuned language models
• Data/ML pipelines

GitHub or demonstrable project work will be a strong advantage.

What Will Make You Stand Out?

We are looking for candidates who build, experiment, and learn by doing.

You will stand out if you can demonstrate:

• A strong GenAI project where you can explain the architecture and engineering decisions.
• Meaningful contributions during a GenAI/AI/ML internship.
• A strong GitHub portfolio.
• Participation in hackathons or AI competitions.
• Research papers, publications, or open-source contributions.
• Ability to explain not only what you built, but why you built it that way and how you measured its performance.

Who Should Apply?

If you are a 2026 graduate who is excited about LLMs, GenAI, and Agentic AI, enjoys solving complex technical problems, and wants to build AI systems that operate at enterprise scale, we'd love to hear from you.
