Role Overview
The Senior AI Developer will be at the forefront of the next generation of artificial intelligence, specifically focusing on the integration of Knowledge Graphs with Generative AI models. This role is based onsite in Mettawa, Illinois, and requires a seasoned professional with over 12 years of experience in the software development lifecycle, with a significant portion dedicated to AI/ML engineering. You will be responsible for architecting and implementing end-to-end GenAI solutions, including advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines and autonomous AI agents. As we move into 2026, the demand for grounded AI is higher than ever, and this role offers the unique opportunity to work on GraphRAG systems, which are becoming the industry standard for reducing hallucinations in enterprise AI. You will be working in a high-impact environment where your contributions directly influence the trustworthiness and accuracy of AI outputs for a major enterprise.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and Implement AI Systems: Lead the design and development of end-to-end GenAI solutions, including RAG pipelines and AI agents, from idea to production deployment.
- Knowledge Graph Development: Design, develop, and maintain large-scale knowledge graphs using Neo4j to structure complex, multi-source enterprise data (both structured and unstructured).
- GraphRAG Implementation: Build sophisticated GraphRAG pipelines that integrate vector databases and knowledge graphs to ground AI responses in factual, verifiable information and mitigate hallucinations.
- Model Integration and Optimization: Collaborate with data scientists and ML engineers to prepare data and infrastructure for fine-tuning open-source or proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs) and optimizing them for performance and efficiency.
- Data Pipeline Development: Set up scalable data pipelines for data ingestion, embedding generation, preprocessing, and continuous model training/retraining.
- Technical Leadership & Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams (e.g., data engineers, product managers, business stakeholders) to translate complex business needs into robust, scalable AI architectures and provide technical guidance to junior developers.
- Innovation & Best Practices: Stay current with the latest advancements in GenAI, graph databases, and MLOps, advocating for and implementing best practices in CI/CD, testing, and responsible AI.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Experience: 12+ years of total experience with at least 7+ years specifically in software development or AI engineering, with a strong portfolio of production-ready AI projects.
- Programming Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency in Python and related AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, LlamaIndex).
- Graph Database Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with graph databases, especially Neo4j, including data modeling, Cypher query language, and graph algorithms.
- GenAI & RAG Knowledge: Deep understanding and practical experience with GenAI concepts, LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, and building RAG systems.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Experience in deploying and optimizing models in cloud environments (GCP) and managing project infrastructure.
- Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to tackle complex, novel challenges in AI development.
Education
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. This role requires a deep commitment to technical excellence and a passion for pushing the boundaries of what is possible with modern AI technologies.
