NorthBay Solutions, an AWS Partner, is looking for a Generative AI Engineer to join the Applied AI function of a UAE Government Department in Abu Dhabi.

This role is ideal for an engineer who doesn't just experiment with AI models but can turn GenAI concepts into complete, production-ready applications.

You will work across LLMs, Agentic AI, RAG, Azure, backend development, APIs, databases, and modern frontend technologies to build practical AI solutions for real-world use cases.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and deploy LLM-powered applications, AI assistants, copilots, and autonomous/agentic solutions.
• Design RAG-based systems, semantic search, embeddings, vector search, and knowledge solutions.
• Develop complete AI products spanning frontend, backend, APIs, databases and AI orchestration.
• Connect AI models with enterprise platforms, internal systems, APIs, and data sources.
• Take AI solutions from prototype → testing → production deployment.
• Work with Microsoft Azure and cloud-native technologies to deploy scalable AI applications.
• Develop AI solutions with appropriate security, monitoring, evaluation, and reliability.
• Collaborate with product, business, and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into working AI solutions.

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years of professional experience in AI Engineering, Generative AI, Software Engineering, ML, Data Science, or a related area.
• Strong hands-on experience developing GenAI / LLM-based applications.
• Excellent Python skills.
• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frameworks such as React, Next.js, or Node.js.
• Backend development experience with FastAPI, Flask, Node.js, or similar technologies.
• Practical knowledge of RAG, AI agents, embeddings, vector databases, prompt engineering, context engineering and LLM APIs.
• Experience working with Microsoft Azure and deploying applications in a cloud environment.
• Good understanding of REST APIs, Git, Docker and CI/CD.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development environments such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex or Windsurf.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to build maintainable, production-quality applications.

Your Azure / AI Advantage

Hands-on exposure to Azure AI Foundry, Azure AI Search, Azure Machine Learning, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, MLflow, Kubernetes, or LLM serving technologies will be highly valued.

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline is required.

A strong portfolio of GenAI applications, GitHub projects, or deployed AI solutions will be a major advantage.
