About the Job

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, along with around 6+ years of experience in Python development, including building and supporting production systems
  • Hands-on experience working with agent-based or agentic systems, using at least one framework such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain, or LlamaIndex
  • Exposure to designing or contributing to MLOps pipelines, with familiarity with tools like Kubeflow
  • Practical experience in fine-tuning large language models (for example, open-source models like Llama, Mistral, Qwen, or similar)
  • Experience deploying containerized applications on Kubernetes, including areas like Helm, operators, networking, and resource management
  • Familiarity with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including services related to compute, storage, identity access management, and machine learning
  • Understanding of software engineering practices such as modular design (SOLID principles), design patterns, secure coding practices, static analysis tools (for example, mypy, ruff, Bandit, SonarQube), and testing approaches (unit and integration testing)

Responsibilities

  • Build the infrastructure that powers our AI agents and ML systems end-to-end — from fine-tuning foundation models to shipping production-grade agent harnesses
  • Work across the stack: building MLOps pipelines, customizing LLMs, and deploying scalable agent systems on Kubernetes
  • Collaborate with researchers, ML engineers, and product teams to take prototypes from notebook to production

Desired Qualifications

  • Exposure to distributed training approaches, using tools such as DeepSpeed, FSDP, or Accelerate
  • Familiarity with vector databases, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and evaluation frameworks for language models
  • Experience working with model serving solutions such as vLLM, TGI, KServe, or Triton
  • Design and build agent harnesses in Python — the runtime scaffolding that enables AI agents to perceive, reason, plan, and act reliably
  • Develop and maintain a robust MLOps framework using Kubeflow and complementary tooling (MLflow, Argo, Airflow, or similar) to orchestrate training, evaluation, and deployment workflows
  • Fine-tune foundation LLMs using techniques such as LoRA/QLoRA, SFT, and RLHF; manage datasets, training runs, and evaluation pipelines
  • Deploy and operate services on Kubernetes, including model serving, autoscaling, and observability
  • Build and integrate AI agents using modern agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, or similar)
  • Apply software engineering rigor — SOLID principles, secure coding, static analysis, code reviews, and CI/CD — across all deliverables
  • Collaborate with researchers, ML engineers, and product teams to take prototypes from notebook to production

About the Company

Nokia

Makes network gear for carriers and data centers

Nokia makes the equipment and software that mobile carriers, cloud companies, and businesses use to run networks, from cell-tower radios to fiber links between AI data centers. From 1998 to 2011 it was the world's largest mobile phone maker; it sold that business to Microsoft in 2014, and HMD Global, a separate company, makes Nokia-branded phones under license. Its network unit sells optical systems that send data over fiber, internet routers, and broadband gear, and its mobile unit sells radios and the core software that runs 5G networks. Nokia earns money from equipment and service contracts and from licensing its patents to phone makers and carmakers. It was founded in 1865 as a wood pulp mill and is based in Espoo, Finland.
