Generative AI engineering is the newest and best-paid variant of the AI track, covering LLM application work: retrieval-augmented generation, agent workflows, structured output, evaluation and cost control. The premium is real but so is the scrutiny — interviewers probe whether you understand context management, hallucination mitigation and token economics, because a large share of applicants have only chained together a tutorial. In India the roles sit mainly in GCCs, AI-first startups and the AI practices of large services firms.
