• R&D & Prototyping: Research, design, and prototype cutting-edge approaches, exploring existing scientific research to inform solution development.
• Feasibility Analysis: Evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of Generative AI solutions for real-world client use cases.
• Vision Shaping: Collaborate with Product Managers and stakeholders to shape a clear, forward-looking vision of AI technology and its practical applications.

Technical Execution & Implementation

• End-to-End Development: Implement and validate AI solutions for diverse business challenges, writing production-ready code using best engineering practices.
• Optimization: Optimize deep learning models for production environments to ensure scalability and latency requirements are met.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with the ML Engineering team throughout all stages of the lifecycle, from initial research to final implementation.
• Data Strategy: Oversee the data mining process, including data collection, cleansing, and exploratory analysis to support model training and fine-tuning.

Must have qualifications

To be considered for this role, you must meet the following essential qualifications:

• Experience & Education
• Total Experience: Minimum of 4+ years in Data Science and Analytics.
• Specialized Experience: Minimum 3+ years focused specifically on developing generative models (LLMs, GANs, VAEs, Diffusion models) and Deep Learning.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Applied Statistics, or a related field.

Technical Skills

Core AI/ML: Expertise in Computer Vision and NLP, with specific experience handling multimodal data (images, text, audio).

GenAI Stack: Familiarity with Gemini, OpenAI GPT-x, open-source LLMs (Llama, Mistral, etc.), and experience in fine-tuning models (PEFT, LoRA). • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Expertise in designing RAG architectures to ground LLM responses in proprietary data.

Vector Databases: Proficiency with vector stores such as Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, or ChromaDB for efficient semantic search and retrieval.

Prompt Engineering: Advanced skills in prompt optimization, chain-of-thought reasoning, and framework usage (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex).

Programming: Strong programming skills in Python with proven ability to write clean, production-ready code.

Frameworks: Proficiency with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.

Cloud: Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Soft Skills

Communication: Excellent fluency in English (B2+ or higher) with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

Problem Solving: A strategic thinker capable of devising holistic solutions for complex customer issues.

Nice to have qualifications

• Experience with MLOps tools (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow) and practices for deploying and monitoring AI models.
• Responsible AI: Knowledge of AI ethics, bias detection, and safety guardrails (e.g., NeMo Guardrails) for deploying LLMs securely.
• API Development: Experience wrapping models in APIs using FastAPI or Flask for integration with frontend applications.
• Knowledge of Reinforcement Learning (RLHF) and self-supervised learning approaches.
• Experience with emerging Generative AI architectures.
