BigStep Technologies - AI/ML Engineer

Description :

Key Responsibilities :

- Design and architect end-to-end Generative AI solutions (text, image, speech, code, etc.) that meet business objectives and technical requirements.

- Define scalable architectures for LLM integration, prompt orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-agent workflows.

- Evaluate and select appropriate AI models, frameworks, and cloud services (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI).

- Develop architecture blueprints, data flows, and API integration strategies.

- Provide technical direction and mentorship to development teams on GenAI solution design and deployment best practices.

- Partner with Data Scientists, ML Engineers, and MLOps teams to operationalize and monitor generative AI models.

- Guide the implementation of responsible AI practices, including bias detection, data governance, and model explainability.

- Stay ahead of emerging GenAI technologies, frameworks, and model capabilities.

- Prototype and evaluate new approaches (e.g., RAG, fine-tuning, LoRA, function calling, multi-agent systems) to accelerate solution development.

- Drive proof-of-concepts (PoCs) and pilot initiatives to demonstrate business value.

- Collaborate with business leaders, product managers, and clients to identify use cases, gather requirements, and define success metrics.

- Translate business challenges into AI-powered solutions with measurable outcomes.
