Roles & Responsibility :

- Partner with business, product, and engineering stakeholders to design and implement enterprise-scale AI solutions, with a strong emphasis on Generative AI applications (LLMs, multimodal, agentic AI).

- Define and own the AI/ML roadmap for key problem areas, balancing near-term delivery with long-term innovation.

- Lead design, prototyping, and deployment of Generative AI models (GPT, Claude, LLaMA, Mistral, Stable Diffusion) for production use cases.

- Build and optimize data pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, embedding strategies, and integrations with vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus).

- Ensure robust model training, fine-tuning (LoRA, PEFT), orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex), monitoring, and governance.

- Lead debugging and optimization of AI systems for latency, throughput, cost, and model drift/bias.

- Collaborate with ML engineers, data scientists, and MLOps teams to design scalable deployment pipelines using modern cloud and containerized environments.

- Mentor and guide engineers, setting best practices for experimentation, evaluation, and production readiness.

- Keep abreast of latest AI/ML research in LLMs, CV, NLP, and multimodal learning, driving adoption of cutting-edge methods.

- Translate complex AI concepts into business outcomes for non-technical stakeholders.

Required Skills :

- 510 years of experience in AI/ML engineering, with at least 3+ years delivering Generative AI models into production.

- Bachelors/Masters/PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or related field from a top-tier institution IITs/NITs/BITs etc.

- Proven experience with deep learning frameworks : PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras, MXNet, Caffe.

- Familiarity with NLP and ML libraries : Transformers, SparkNLP, Gensim, SpaCy, NLTK, Hugging Face.

- Experience building and fine-tuning LLMs and integrating them with orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex).

- Expertise with vector databases (Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate, Milvus) and knowledge of embedding retrieval patterns.

- Cloud-native ML experience (AWS Sagemaker, GCP Vertex AI, Azure ML) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

- Applied knowledge of classical ML algorithms (SVM, Decision Trees, Random Forests, regression, clustering) alongside modern DL/GenAI approaches.

- Strong knowledge of CI/CD for ML, model observability (MLflow, Weights & Biases, LangSmith), and governance frameworks.

- Excellent problem-solving skills, communication, and ability to lead technical teams.
