As part of this role, you will be responsible for:

- Leading AI project delivery end to end, ensuring clear governance, strong stakeholder communication, and reliable execution.

- Designing and building robust RAG systems, agentic frameworks, and LLM-powered solutions suitable for production environments.

- Applying advanced prompt engineering techniques, including instruction design, few-shot prompting, structured outputs, and tool/agent prompts.

- Leading feasibility assessments to determine the right technical approach, including prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, classical ML, or hybrid solutions.

- Designing evaluation frameworks for AI systems, including LLM-as-a-judge, custom metrics, recall@k, precision@k, and go/no-go gates.

- Running structured experiments across prompts, retrievers, chunking strategies, embeddings, reranking approaches, and models.

- Identifying and categorizing model failures such as hallucinations, retrieval misses, instruction-following errors, and quality regressions.

- Building scalable inference infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines for AI and ML models.

- Automating the MLOps/LLMOps lifecycle, including tracking, versioning, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and continuous improvement.

- Designing APIs, microservices, and orchestration layers optimized for latency, cost, reliability, and scalability.

- Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to proposals, solution design, and new business initiatives.

The ideal candidate should have:

- 6+ years of experience building and deploying AI, ML, or data-driven solutions in production environments.

- Strong expertise in Python and solid Git practices.

- Hands-on experience with LLM-powered solutions, RAG systems, and modern GenAI development patterns.

- Practical experience with RAG components, including chunking, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, and evaluation.

- Strong understanding of prompt engineering techniques, including structured outputs, few-shot prompting, instruction design, and tool/agent prompts.

- Proven experience designing evaluation strategies for AI systems, including metrics, dataset curation, structured experimentation, and quality gates.

- Experience with MLOps/LLMOps practices and tools such as MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar platforms.

- Solid cloud experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP. Azure experience is preferred.

- Experience with containerization, orchestration, scalable inference, APIs, and microservices.

- Understanding of event-driven architectures and production-grade engineering practices.

- Ability to communicate clearly with engineering teams, senior stakeholders, and clients.

- A pragmatic approach to AI delivery, balancing innovation, reliability, cost, latency, and business value.

Nice to have:

- Experience with Databricks MLOps platform.

- Experience with LLM fine-tuning.

- Experience building agentic GenAI systems.

- Experience with Infrastructure as Code.

- Knowledge of security and observability practices for AI services.

- Background in classical machine learning.

- Open-source contributions or public technical work.
