Role Description: What Will You Do?
- Design, develop, and test software components used by automotive dealerships to interact with their customers.
- Lead the design, build, and integration of AI/ML solutions, including: developing and consuming LLM APIs, fine-tuning, and deploying models into production systems.
- Collaborate directly with business stakeholders—including customers—to understand requirements and deliver impactful solutions.
- Work across a variety of tech stacks (microservices, mobile development, cloud platforms, etc.) in a fast-moving, dynamic environment.
- Mentor and review the work of SDE I engineers, helping them grow in technical expertise.
- Take initiative to improve overall system architecture, scalability, and reliability.
- Exercise ownership by challenging trade-offs between speed and reliability when building solutions (“pulling the Andon cord”).
Education & Experience
- 2–5 years of experience developing cloud-based software services with a strong understanding of design for scalability, performance, and reliability.
- Hands-on experience deploying and optimizing AI/ML solutions in production environments. [Preferred]
- Education: BTech or Equivalent 4yr degree in Computer Science/Engineering (Tier 1/Tier 2 institutes such as IIT/NIT preferred, but not required).
AI/ML Fundas
- Data & ML Lifecycle: Can clearly explain the purpose and importance of train/validation/test splits. Understands "garbage in, garbage out" and the conceptual importance of data cleaning, normalization, and augmentation. Can explain the purpose of common metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision/recall, loss) and identify clear overfitting or underfitting from loss curves.
- Neural Networks (NNs): Can intuitively explain the basic components of a neural network (neurons, layers, weights, activation functions). Understands how a network "learns" via loss functions, gradient descent, and backpropagation. Can differentiate between training and inference.
- Transformers: Understands the motivation for the Transformer architecture (limitations of RNNs/CNNs). Nice to have: Can intuitively explain key components like self-attention, positional encodings, and encoder-decoder structure. Grasps self-attention and multi-head attention concepts.
- Large Language Models (LLMs): Understands the relationship between Transformers and LLMs (scaling laws, pre-training/fine-tuning). Familiar with tokenization and prompt-based interaction. Aware of core application patterns like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and LLM-based agents. Nice to have: Recognizes model limitations (hallucinations) and the importance of responsible AI.
