Our ideal candidate would be someone who can immediately impact the team by owning application solutions.  We are seeking an experienced AI Developer to build and deploy the infrastructure for a new AI project.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in machine learning technologies, with

particular expertise in modern large language model (LLM) techniques and frameworks. You will

be responsible for developing and implementing AI solutions, including retrieval-augmented

generation (RAG), training and fine-tuning models, and working with vector databases.

Additionally, you will work with contextual retrieval and hybrid search, and utilize agentic

frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Semantic Kernel.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement a robust AI infrastructure to support our new project.
• Develop and optimize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems.
• Configure and manage vector databases for efficient similarity search.
• Implement contextual retrieval and hybrid search solutions.
• Work with LLM technologies, including fine-tuning and deployment.
• Build agentic AI systems using modern frameworks.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate AI capabilities.
• Ensure the security and privacy of AI models and data.
• Implement LLMOps best practices for model deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.
• Utilize domain knowledge to tailor LLM solutions to business-specific needs and enhance revalance
• Develop and implement Named Entity Recognition (NER) systems, including Zero-shot NER techniques
• Design and implement Text-to-SQL capabilities that leverage LLMs to transform natural
• language questions into executable SQL queries.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in AI technologies and methodologies.
   

Required Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience building production-ready AI infrastructure.
• Strong knowledge of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-
• technical stakeholders.
• Knowledge of security best practices for AI applications, including data protection, access
• control, and monitoring.
• Familiarity with LLMOps practices, including model deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.
• Experience with Named Entity Recognition (NER) systems, including Zero-shot NER.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in ML/AI development roles.
• Contributions to open-source AI projects.
• Experience with prompt engineering and LLM evaluation metrics.
• Familiarity with containerization and microservices architecture.
• Experience with modeling and large-scale data processing tools such as PyTorch, TensorFlow,
• scikit-learn, Spark MLLib, PySpark, MxNet, numpy, scipy, etc.
• Knowledge of data preprocessing techniques and tools such as Hadoop, Spark, etc.
• Familiarity with natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision for generative AI applications
• Experience with adversarial risk assessment and mitigation.
• Understanding of ethical AI practices and responsible AI deployment
