About the project

We are building a textbook-grounded, multimodal K-12 tutor aligned to the Turkish MEB curriculum. You will create, maintain, deploy and monitor production LLM agents that answer strictly from selected textbooks and lessons, with citations and relevant images.

What you will do

• Own one or more agents end to end: design, build, deploy, monitor
• Implement LangChain LCEL chains and, where needed, LangGraph orchestration
• Build RAG pipelines with metadata filters on book_id, lesson_id, page_no
• Expose FastAPI endpoints for Flutter client: /ingest, /ask, /ask/audio
• Add evaluation and monitoring: LangSmith or RAGAS, faithfulness, answer relevancy, context precision and recall, latency p95
• Set release gates so changes cannot degrade quality, configure alerts and dashboards

Must have

• Strong Python and production experience with LLMs
• Hands-on LangChain for RAG and tool use
• Evaluation and monitoring of agents using LangSmith or equivalent
• Vector stores such as Pinecone or Weaviate and solid prompt engineering
• FastAPI, Docker, CI/CD, practical MLOps habits
• Clear communication and fast turnaround

Nice to have

• Flutter familiarity for API integration
• OCR and layout-aware parsing of PDFs and images
• Experience in education or curriculum-aligned systems

What success looks like in 30 days

• One priority agent live behind /ask with citations and an abstain path
• LangSmith tracing active with a small golden set and scheduled evaluators
• Passing faithfulness and relevancy thresholds and classroom-friendly latency
