Developer

GenAI Application Engineer

8–10 weeks

For developers who want to add generative AI capability to real applications. The focus is practical: integrating LLM APIs, building retrieval-grounded features, and shipping them reliably — not machine learning theory.

Curriculum

How the program is structured

  1. LLM API Integration

    Working with model APIs, structured prompting and context management.

  2. RAG for Applications

    Building retrieval-augmented features grounded in real product data.

  3. Production Deployment

    Shipping AI-powered services with FastAPI, with attention to cost and latency.

  4. Capstone & Verification

    Build a practical project end-to-end and complete the role-specific technical assessment.

Prerequisites

Working experience building and shipping APIs or backend services.

By the end, you'll be able to

  • Integrate LLM APIs into existing backend services with proper error handling.
  • Build a retrieval-augmented feature grounded in real, messy data.
  • Deploy an AI-powered API with attention to cost, latency and reliability.
  • Explain the tradeoffs behind a GenAI feature’s design in a technical interview.

Who this program is for

  • Developers with working experience in Python or similar backend languages.
