Key Responsibilities

  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to an AI engineering team, shaping architecture, best practices, and delivery standards.

  • Own the end-to-end development of AI-powered applications, including backend APIs, front-end integrations, and advanced GenAI workflows.

  • Design and build scalable, production-grade REST APIs in Python (FastAPI, Flask, Django) and integrate them with modern web interfaces (React, Next.js, Vue).

  • Architect LLM- and agent-based systems using frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Haystack, focusing on reliability, safety, and performance.

  • Develop and optimize RAG pipelines using vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, Milvus) to support retrieval-augmented intelligence at scale.

  • Apply advanced prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and adaptation techniques (LoRA, PEFT, instruction tuning) to elevate model reasoning, accuracy, and controllability.

  • Deploy, scale, and monitor AI workloads on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) using containers, orchestrators, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, Pulumi).

  • Implement DevOps and AIOps best practices, ensuring strong observability, CI/CD automation, and production reliability for AI systems.

  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code across the stack, championing code quality and engineering excellence.
