Responsibilities will include designing, building, and deploying enterprise-grade AI systems, specifically focused on :

  • Agentic AI solutions to automate operational processes (e.g., interpreting trouble tickets, performing basic troubleshooting, interacting with online portals, data entry).
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and ColBERTv2 pipelines for parsing, indexing, and querying enterprise documents to facilitate answers related to process guidelines, product knowledge, and training materials.
  • Function calling solutions leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate and perform precise actions in enterprise workflows.
  • Developing and applying reinforcement learning strategies to optimize and automate decision-making processes within enterprise operations.

This role requires hands-on expertise with model fine-tuning, training pipelines, post-training optimization techniques (e.g., model distillation), classification models, and integrating AI systems within complex enterprise environments.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement AI solutions leveraging fine-tuned Large Language Models (e.g., OpenAI models, LLaMA, Mistral).
  • Design, develop, and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using advanced vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Milvus).
  • Build and enhance agentic AI systems utilizing frameworks like LangChain, AutoGPT, or similar automation frameworks.
  • Deploy scalable ColBERTv2 architectures for semantic retrieval and classification.
  • Create robust pre-processing and post-processing pipelines to enhance model performance, accuracy, and interpretability.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, business stakeholders, data scientists, and software engineers.
  • Implement best practices in model distillation, quantization, and optimization for deployment in production environments.
  • Ensure compliance with enterprise-grade security, privacy standards, and data governance practices.
  • Provide leadership and mentorship to team members, supporting their technical development and career growth through coaching, training, and performance feedback.
  • Drive timely and successful completion of AI / ML projects by setting clear milestones, tracking progress, removing blockers, and aligning resources
  • Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, AI, or related fields; advanced degree strongly preferred.
  • 5+ years of proven experience developing and deploying production-grade AI / ML systems.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, familiarity with libraries / frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, and LangChain.
  • Demonstrated expertise with LLM fine-tuning (e.g., LoRA, PEFT), distillation, and model optimization.
  • Practical experience implementing RAG pipelines with embedding technologies and vector stores (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone).
  • Proven track record building agentic AI systems capable of interacting with multiple enterprise applications and platforms.
  • Solid understanding of NLP techniques, Transformer architectures, semantic search, and document retrieval technologies (e.g., ColBERT).
  • Hands-on experience with reinforcement learning techniques, including designing, training, and deploying reinforcement learning models.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or related field.
  • Familiarity with cloud-based AI services (e.g., AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, Google Vertex AI).
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and deployment pipelines (CI / CD).
  • Knowledge of advanced AI frameworks and model inference engines such as Triton Inference Server, TensorRT, and ONNX.
  • Familiarity with model monitoring, observability tools, and techniques to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical solutions to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience in regulated industries or environments requiring strict compliance and data governance standards.
  • Create a job alert for this search
