About the role
BeaconFire is based in Central NJ, specializing in Software Development, Web Development
and Business Intelligence; looking for a strong agentic AI developer who can build and
productionize Vertex AI-based RAG systems (Vertex AI Search / Vertex AI RAG patterns),
design reliable tool-using agents, and work comfortably with vector databases and graph
databases. You'll own end-to-end delivery: ingestion, retrieval, agent orchestration, evaluation,
and deployment.
Job Responsibilities:
Collaborate with the team to design and develop high quality Web applications using
Python, Flask, Django, and related technologies.
Write clean and efficient code, and ensure code maintainability and reusability.
Design and implement RAG pipelines on Google Cloud / Vertex AI (chunking,
embeddings, indexing, retrieval, reranking, grounding).
Build agentic workflows (tool use, planning, reflection/guardrails, structured outputs)
using Python-first frameworks.
Perform code reviews to ensure code quality and consistency.
Conduct testing to ensure application quality and reliability.
Create and maintain technical documentation for web applications.
Participate in project planning, estimation, and prioritization.
Stay up to date with the latest technologies for Python development.
Define and run evaluation (retrieval metrics, answer quality, hallucination/grounding
checks), and improve system quality iteratively.
Ship to production: APIs, monitoring/observability, cost/performance optimization, CI/CD,
and security best practices.
Requirement: Experience in software development in Python3.
Decent understanding of the software development/testing life cycle.
Knowledge of relational databases (e.g. MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc)slanguage skills
Experience with version control tools, such as Git.
Experience building RAG solutions (hybrid search, reranking, chunking strategies,
embeddings, prompt + schema design).
Familiar with at least one agentic framework (e.g., LangGraph/LangChain, LlamaIndex,
Semantic Kernel, AutoGen) and tool/function calling patterns.
Solid knowledge of vector search concepts and at least one vector DB in production.
Strong engineering practices: code reviews, testing, telemetry, secure-by-design,
reliability mindset.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
1+ year professional experience in Python web application development with either
Flask or Django.
Experience in RESTful API development in Python.
Understanding of Python web application frameworks such as Flask or Django.
Experience with Cloud services, such as AWS.
Experience with Vertex AI and GCP fundamentals (IAM, logging/monitoring, Cloud
Run/GKE, storage).
Knowledge graphs for RAG (entity linking, graph traversal + retrieval fusion).
Streaming/messaging (Pub/Sub, Kafka), document pipelines (Document AI), and
multilingual retrieval.
Experience with evaluation tooling (RAGAS, TruLens, custom eval harnesses),
prompt/version management.
Frontend integration (basic React/Next.js) or platform enablement (internal developer
tooling).
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
