About Salvo Software

Salvo Software is a integral technology company specializing in custom software development and advanced engineering solutions. With distributed teams across the US, LATAM, and India, we partner with clients to build high-performance, scalable systems that solve complex technical challenges. Our culture values innovation, ownership, and engineering excellence. We're growing our AI department and are looking for a hands-on AI Developer to help build it.

Role Overview

We are looking for an AI Developer to join and strengthen our AI department. Your core work will be building and operating LLM-powered systems: serving open-source models with Ollama and llama.cpp, building RAG pipelines, and developing MCP integrations that connect large languange models to real tools and data. Solid DevOps fundamentals - Docker, CI/CD, Azure - support this work, but AI engineering is the heart of the role.

You don't need to be a deep ML researcher. What matters is production-grade Python, strong fundamentals, and the aptitude to learn fast.



You'll work closely with our engineering and product teams to take LLM-powered features from prototype to reliably deployed systems, with mentorship available as you ramp up in areas like RAG architecture, Kafka, and advanced MCP work.

Key Responsibilities

AI / LLM Engineering (core focus)
- Serve and operate open-source LLMs using Ollama and llama.cpp, locally and in on-prem environments.
- Build and maintain RAG pipelines: embeddings, vector databases, chunking strategies, and retrieval quality.
- Develop MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations connecting LLMs to internal tools and data sources.
- Build backend services in Python that power ML inference and AI-driven product features.
- Parse and process structured and semi-structured data (XML/XSD, Office document formats) as pipeline inputs.
- Grow into model optimization over time: quantization (GGUF), GPU/CUDA tuning, and offline/air-gapped deployments.
