initiatives meet high standards of performance, reliability, and business alignment.

Key Responsibilities

AI Architecture & Development

 Lead the design and development of production-grade AI/ML systems, including model

selection, training pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and deployment workflows.

 Architect solutions using LLMs, multimodal models, and advanced deep learning approaches.

 Build scalable, fault-tolerant pipelines for data ingestion, preprocessing, feature engineering,

and model serving.

 Drive adoption of best-practice MLOps methodologies (CI/CD for ML, monitoring, drift

detection, versioning, automated retraining).

Technical Leadership

 Provide hands-on mentorship to AI engineers, ML developers, and data scientists.

 Lead code reviews, set engineering standards, and ensure technical excellence across AI

initiatives.

 Evaluate new AI technologies, frameworks, and tooling (LLM providers, vector DBs, inference

engines, model optimization techniques).

 Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, Data, DevOps, Cloud Engineering) to align AI

capabilities with business goals.Model Performance & Optimization

 Improve inference performance through quantization, distillation, pruning, and GPU/TPU

optimization.

 Design and implement robust evaluation metrics, benchmarking processes, and model

monitoring systems.

 Optimize cost-performance trade-offs across training and inference environments.

Project Execution & Delivery

 Translate business requirements into technical AI solution designs.

 Own delivery timelines, resource estimation, and execution for AI features and projects.

 Ensure compliance with responsible AI, data governance, and security frameworks.

Required Qualifications

senior role.

 Strong proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.

 Experience building and shipping production-grade AI/ML systems at scale.

 Excellent understanding of LLMs, transformers, vector databases, prompt engineering, and

model fine-tuning.

 Experience with cloud AI platforms (AWS Sagemaker, GCP Vertex AI, Azure ML) and

containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).

 Solid grounding in data structures, distributed computing, and system design.

 Strong understanding of MLOps tools (MLflow, Kubeflow, Weights & Biases, Airflow, Ray).

Preferred Skills

 Experience with RAG pipelines, custom model training, and evaluation of multimodal systems.

 Knowledge of CUDA, GPU optimization, and model acceleration frameworks (TensorRT, ONNX

Runtime).

 Experience integrating AI into enterprise systems, APIs, or microservices architectures.

 Background in NLP, CV, reinforcement learning, or generative AI applications.

 Familiarity with responsible AI guidelines, compliance frameworks, and data privacy regulations.

Soft Skills

 Strong leadership and communication capabilities.

 Ability to manage ambiguity and drive clarity in fast-paced environments.

 Proven ability to collaborate across engineering, research, and business teams.

 Strategic thinking with an execution mindset.Education
