Responsibilities


We are looking for a highly skilled AI Engineer to help build and scale an automated machine learning platform that turns complex enterprise data into intelligent, production-ready solutions. You will work across the full AI stack, from LLM development and RAG systems to MLOps, APIs, and cloud-native deployment, helping transform raw data into reliable, scalable AI services used in real-world business environments. This role sits at the intersection of machine learning engineering, backend systems, and generative AI infrastructure, requiring both architectural thinking and strong hands-on execution. What You Will Be Doing: - You will be responsible for building and improving the core AI systems powering the platform. - Design, train, and optimize ML models and LLM-based systems for predictive and generative use cases. - Build and evolve Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using embeddings, vector databases, and prompt strategies. - Develop scalable AI services with FastAPI, containerization, and cloud orchestration tools. - Create and maintain automated data ingestion and transformation pipelines for ML-ready datasets. - Deploy production-grade models with a focus on low latency, high availability, and scalability. - Establish evaluation frameworks to monitor model accuracy, drift, and performance efficiency. - Build secure APIs that connect AI capabilities to product interfaces and user-facing applications. - Continuously improve system performance through optimization techniques and experimentation. What We Are Looking For: Core Experience: - 5+ years building and deploying production machine learning systems. - Strong background in taking models from research or notebooks into production environments. - Hands-on experience across the full ML lifecycle and MLOps practices. Technical Skills: - Strong Python engineering skills (production-level, not just prototyping). - Experience with ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn. - Deep understanding of LLMs and RAG architectures. - Experience with tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or OpenAI APIs. - Strong API development experience using FastAPI or Flask. - Familiarity with SQL, NoSQL, and vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, etc.). - Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or similar deployment tools. - Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Strong Plus: - Exposure to AutoML systems or automated feature engineering pipelines. - Experience with ML orchestration tools (MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, etc.). - Understanding of distributed data processing (Spark, Dask). - Experience with model tuning frameworks (Optuna, Ray Tune). Ideal Candidate Profile: - A product mindset with strong engineering discipline. - Experience working in fast-moving startup environments. - Ability to design scalable systems that evolve with new AI advancements. - Strong mathematical foundation (statistics + linear algebra). - A bias toward building reliable, production-grade systems over experimental-only work. Day-to-Day Work: - Building and improving ML/LLM pipelines powering enterprise use cases. - Developing scalable inference services and APIs. - Working on automated ML workflows (feature engineering - training - deployment). - Improving model performance via tuning, optimization, and evaluation. - Collaborating with data engineers to integrate diverse data sources. - Writing production code and participating in peer reviews. - Monitoring system health and model behavior in production. Interview Process: - Intro / Team Conversation - background, collaboration fit, problem-solving style. - Technical Assessment - real-world coding or ML system challenge. - Deep Technical Interview - architecture, ML systems, and past experience deep dive. - Final Round - leadership discussion and long-term alignment. Requirements (Must-Have): - 5+ years in production ML/AI engineering. - Strong experience with LLMs and RAG systems. - Proven MLOps and deployment experience. - Strong Python + backend engineering skills. - Authorized to work in the U.S. (Citizen or Green Card holder). Benefits: - Health Insurance. - Dental Insurance. - Vision Insurance.
