  • Define and drive theย AI/ML roadmapย for key business and technology problem areas.
  • Lead the design, prototyping, development, and production deployment ofย Generative AI and LLM-based applications.
  • Work with models such asย GPT, Claude, LLaMA, Mistral, and other foundation and multimodal models.
  • Build scalableย Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)ย pipelines, embedding workflows, and retrieval architectures.
  • Design and implement integrations with vector databases such asย FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, and Milvus.
  • Develop and optimise data pipelines supporting AI/ML applications and model workflows.
  • Fine-tune models using approaches such asย LoRA and PEFTย and establish robust evaluation methodologies.
  • Build AI orchestration and agentic workflows using frameworks such asย LangChain and LlamaIndex.
  • Optimise AI systems forย latency, throughput, cost, scalability, accuracy, and reliability.
  • Monitor model performance, drift, bias, and production behaviour and implement appropriate corrective measures.
  • Design scalable ML deployment pipelines using cloud-native and containerised environments.
  • Apply appropriateย CI/CD, MLOps, observability, governance, and model lifecycle managementย practices.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate AI capabilities into production applications and platforms.
  • Lead technical debugging, root-cause analysis, performance optimisation, and production issue resolution.
  • Establish best practices for experimentation, evaluation, documentation, security, and production readiness.
  • Mentor and guide engineers while contributing to technical standards and AI/ML engineering practices.
  • Evaluate emerging AI technologies and identify opportunities for their practical application.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 5+ years of experienceย in AI/ML engineering, with strong hands-on experience deliveringย Generative AI solutions into production.
