You will lead the technical design of AI features across LLMs Agentic AI Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) MLOps and Intelligent Automation and set a high bar for engineering quality.
You will act as a go-to technical resource on your projects mentor less-experienced engineers and collaborate with architects and stakeholders to deliver scalable reliable AI solutions.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead the technical design and delivery of complex ML and Generative AI components owning them from requirements through production.
- Develop fine-tune and optimize models and LLM pipelines with strong attention to accuracy latency cost and reliability.
- Architect and improve advanced RAG systems including hybrid retrieval re-ranking chunking strategy and evaluation.
- Design and build production Agentic AI and multi-agent workflows with robust tool use orchestration and error handling.
- Drive engineering quality: establish patterns conduct thorough code and design reviews and reduce technical debt.
- Build and harden MLOps/LLMOps pipelines CI/CD automated evaluation monitoring drift detection and retraining.
- Design integrations with enterprise applications APIs data platforms and vector stores at scale.
- Define and apply prompt-engineering standards evaluation frameworks and guardrails for safe high-quality LLM systems.
- Partner with product and business stakeholders to shape solution scope estimate effort and manage delivery risk.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and contribute to reusable frameworks libraries and accelerators.
- Evaluate emerging models tools and techniques and pilot them for practical enterprise use.
- Produce high-quality technical documentation design specifications and deployment artifacts.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Data Science or a related field.
- 3-7 years of hands-on experience in AI Machine Learning or related software engineering roles including delivering systems to production.
- Advanced Python engineering skills and strong software-design fundamentals.
- Deep practical experience building and optimizing Generative AI and LLM-based applications.
- Strong experience with agentic AI frameworks (LangChain LangGraph CrewAI AutoGen) and production RAG architectures.
- Solid MLOps experience: CI/CD model deployment monitoring and evaluation.
- Proven experience with at least one major cloud platform (Azure AWS or Google Cloud) Docker and containerized deployments.
- Demonstrated ability to own complex modules independently and lead technical decisions on a project.
- Experience mentoring engineers and driving engineering best practices.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
PREFERRED SKILLS
- Strong proficiency across PyTorch TensorFlow Hugging Face and the broader Python data/ML ecosystem.
- Production experience with multiple LLM providers (OpenAI Anthropic Claude Azure OpenAI Gemini) and open-weight models.
- Experience with fine-tuning LoRA/PEFT and model optimization or serving (vLLM TGI Triton).
- Advanced experience with vector databases and large-scale retrieval.
- Experience with orchestration and workflow tooling such as Kubernetes Airflow or Ray.
- Experience building LLM evaluation observability and guardrail frameworks.
- Familiarity with responsible-AI security and governance practices.
- Open-source contributions publications or a strong portfolio of applied AI work.
WHAT YOULL GAIN
- Technical ownership of complex high-visibility AI and Automation systems.
- A path toward senior and principal technical-leadership roles.
- Deep involvement in Agentic AI LLM and next-generation AI platform work.
- Influence over engineering standards patterns and reusable accelerators.
- The opportunity to mentor engineers and shape team technical capability.
