  • Advise on production deployment strategies, including security, performance, and data integration considerations.
  • Conduct operational readiness assessments to evaluate solution performance, resilience, and maintainability.
  • Design lightweight model monitoring and retraining pipelines to maintain relevance and accuracy.
  • Support AI governance alignment, ensuring all solutions adhere to organizational standards and risk management practices.
  • Serve as the primary client interface for technical leadership, solution assurance, and delivery success.
  • Construct and maintain scalable data pipelines for processing, transforming, and feeding data into AI models and applications.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to rapidly prototype and iterate on solutions
  • Deploy and manage applications and models in cloud environments leveraging infrastructure-as-code and DevOps best practices.
  • What You Will Need :

  • Bachelor's degree is required
  • Minimum SEVEN (7) years of experience delivering AI, software, or data-driven solutions,
  • Minimum TWO (2) years in a leadership or client-facing consulting role
  • Hands-on experience designing or implementing Generative AI systems (e.g., knowledge assistants, automation workflows, or retrieval-based reasoning) in cloud environments (e.g. Azure, Amazon Web Services)
  • Experience with key Generative AI system patterns, such as :
  • RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and retrieval-based reasoning systems
  • Agentic frameworks (e.g., orchestrated multi-step reasoning, tool-using AI agents)
  • Evaluation and observability frameworks (e.g., LLM / human evals, prompt testing, reliability scoring)
  • Model monitoring and retraining pipelines
  • Proficiency in Python and experience developing applications or pipelines that integrate AI / LLMs via APIs or SDKs (e.g. LangChain, LangGraph or similar)
  • Strong understanding of AI architecture, data integration, and model lifecycle management
  • Demonstrated experience leading teams using Agile and DevOps delivery practices, including sprint management, CI / CD, and iterative prototyping
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and problem-solving skills
  • What Would Be Nice To Have :

  • Master's degree
  • Experience designing or deploying solutions with Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, or other AWS AI services
  • Understanding of AI governance and risk management frameworks
  • Experience supporting clients in regulated or complex environments (e.g., energy, infrastructure, public sector)
