- Optimize Models: Lead efforts in LLM and Embedding fine-tuning to improve domain-specific performance
- Agentic Ops: Build and manage agentic workflows that automate complex multi-step reasoning tasks
- Collaborate & Innovate: Work directly with customers to understand requirements, suggest novel features, and implement state-of-the-art AI techniques
- Productionize: Apply MLOps best practices to ensure models are served efficiently, monitored, and continuously improved
Your Technical Toolkit:
- Core Languages: Mastery of Python and shell scripting
- AI/LLM Ecosystem: Extensive experience with Google Gemini, GPT-4, or LLaMA; deep knowledge of Prompt Engineering and Fine-tuning
- Data & Search: Expertise in Vector Databases (Vertex AI Vector Search, pgvector, etc.) and implementing Semantic Search
- Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with GCP (Vertex AI) and building scalable software architectures
- Frameworks: Proficiency in LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar orchestration layers
- Mindset: A strong software engineering foundation—you write clean, maintainable code and understand the full SDLC
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
- 5+ years of experience in AI/ML
- Proven track record of deploying GenAI products to a production environment
- Experience with Classic Machine Learning (neural nets, training, tuning) is a strong plus
- Knowledge of Data Engineering and SQL
Personal Attributes:
- Ownership: You take pride in your code and see projects through from concept to deployment
- Curiosity: The AI landscape changes weekly; you are a lifelong learner who stays ahead of the curve
- Consultative Spirit: You enjoy interacting with clients and can translate technical complexity into business value
