What is a RAG / Search?
A RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) or Search engineer builds the retrieval layer that grounds language models in private or up-to-date data — chunking strategies, embedding models, vector indices, hybrid lexical+semantic ranking, and the LLM-side prompting that turns retrieved passages into trustworthy answers. The role is increasingly its own specialty as enterprise AI deployments hit the limits of naive RAG and need re-rankers, query rewriting, and evaluation harnesses. Strong candidates know information-retrieval fundamentals (BM25, Reciprocal Rank Fusion) and have shipped a production RAG system end-to-end.
As of July 2026, AgenticCareers tracks 18 open RAG / Search positions across 13 companies. The median advertised salary is $197K–$254K per year (based on 5 listings with disclosed pay). 33% of roles are remote. The most active employers are Capital One, NVIDIA, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Hhmi.
