·     Design and implementation of improvements in Python (LangChain)

·     Evaluation of the retriever and RAG system performance (result quality, robustness, latency)

·     Contribution to the improvement of other components of the agent based system (agents, extraction pipeline, orchestration)

·     Proposals for improvement axes aimed at strengthening the overall reliability and performance of the system

Required / appreciated skills

·     Very strong foundations in Python

·     Knowledge of LLMs and RAG systems

·     Experience with or strong interest in LangChain
