About the Job

Requirements

  • A master's degree or engineering degree, or equivalent, in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related quantitative field is required.
  • At least 1 year of hands-on experience in machine learning, software engineering, or data science is required, including demonstrated work on complex AI projects involving large language models and Generative AI.
  • Strong programming skills, particularly in Python, are required.
  • Proficiency in at least one major Generative AI application framework, such as LangChain or LlamaIndex, is required.
  • Experience in natural language processing and natural language understanding, vector embeddings, and semantic search is required.
  • Hands-on experience fine-tuning large language models is required.
  • Mastery of advanced prompting techniques, such as Chain, Tree, or Graph of Thought and ReAct, is required.
  • Knowledge of proprietary and open-source model ecosystems, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Hugging Face, and models hosted on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, is required.
  • Experience with cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, and their associated MLOps and AI services, is required.
  • Familiarity with MLOps principles, continuous integration and continuous delivery tools, Docker, and Git is required.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts simply are required.
  • Strong analytical and complex problem-solving abilities are required.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with diverse profiles is required.
  • Curiosity, a pioneering spirit, and commitment to continuous learning are required.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, train, fine-tune, and deploy sophisticated AI models using large language models, including GPT-x, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and Mistral, and other generative techniques.
  • Assist the Generative AI Solution Architect in designing robust, scalable, and secure applications.
  • Develop applications powered by self-managed and API-accessible Generative AI models that meet business needs and comply with applicable regulations, model licenses, and requirements such as GDPR and the EU AI Act.
  • Design and optimize prompts, including few-shot, Chain, Tree, or Graph of Thought, ReAct, self-reflection, and guardrails, to enhance analytical capabilities, refine outputs, improve user experience, and control interactions.
  • Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation architectures using predetermined knowledge sources to improve accuracy and relevance and provide source attribution.
  • Select and fine-tune appropriate models, including visual language models and small language models, to create text, image, audio, code, and other content and maximize business value.
  • Implement MLOps practices across the Generative AI lifecycle, including automated pipelines, continuous integration and delivery, versioning, monitoring, and maintenance in production environments on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.
  • Integrate models into existing systems and external tools or APIs, potentially using standardized protocols such as Model Context Protocol.
  • Develop and execute evaluation frameworks to measure model performance, reliability, fairness, and safety.
  • Ensure adherence to Responsible AI principles and help teams and clients navigate end-to-end security and compliance processes.
  • Track advancements in Generative AI techniques, technologies, and frameworks; experiment with new approaches; and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
  • Collaborate within cross-functional teams and communicate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Document processes, methodologies, and best practices for knowledge sharing and future reference.
  • Distinguish use cases suited to Generative AI from traditional natural language processing applications such as named-entity recognition and sentiment analysis.
  • Advise clients on suitable approaches, including retrieval-augmented generation, agents, or fine-tuning, for cost-effective impact and help clients identify use cases and accelerate Generative AI adoption.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience building agentic AI systems, such as LangGraph or AutoGen, is preferred.
  • Experience with vector databases, such as pgvector, Pinecone, Chroma, or OpenSearch, is preferred.
  • Experience developing conversational AI systems or chatbots is preferred.
  • Familiarity with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow is preferred.
  • Understanding of or experience with protocols and standards for connecting large language models to external tools and databases, such as Model Context Protocol, is preferred.
  • Experience deploying models at scale in production environments is preferred.
