Key Responsibilities
Architecture & Design
  • Define and own the enterprise AI/ML architecture strategy, including model development pipelines, MLOps platforms, and LLM integration patterns
  • Design scalable, secure, and maintainable AI systems leveraging cloud-native services (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Architect Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, vector database solutions, and knowledge graph integrations
  • Establish architectural patterns for Agentic AI systems including multi-agent orchestration, tool use, memory management, and autonomous workflows
  • Lead technical design reviews and ensure alignment with enterprise standards, security policies, and compliance requirements
LLM & Generative AI
  • Evaluate, select, and integrate LLMs (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, LLaMA, Mistral) for enterprise use cases
  • Architect fine-tuning pipelines (LoRA, QLoRA, PEFT) for domain-specific model adaptation
  • Define prompt engineering standards, guardrails, and output validation frameworks
  • Oversee responsible AI practices including bias detection, hallucination mitigation, and explainability
MLOps & Platform Engineering
  • Design end-to-end MLOps pipelines covering data ingestion, model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining
  • Establish CI/CD practices for ML models and AI applications
  • Define model registry, versioning, and governance standards
  • Select and integrate ML platforms (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Azure ML, Vertex AI)
Agentic AI Systems
  • Architect multi-agent frameworks using tools such as LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, and Semantic Kernel
  • Define agent orchestration patterns, tool-use boundaries, and human-in-the-loop approval workflows
  • Establish security controls for agentic systems including prompt injection prevention and privilege separation
  • Drive adoption of Model Context Protocol (MCP) and emerging agentic standards
Leadership & Collaboration
  • Serve as the technical authority and subject matter expert for AI/ML
  • Mentor and guide a team of ML engineers, data scientists, and AI developers
  • Partner with product, data, security, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into AI solutions
  • Present architectural decisions, trade-offs, and roadmaps to executive leadership
  • Stay current with AI research, emerging frameworks, and industry trends; drive continuous innovation
Required Qualifications
  • Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience: 10+ years in software engineering or data science; 5+ years in AI/ML architecture roles
  • Deep expertise in machine learning, deep learning, and statistical modeling
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs (GPT, Claude, LLaMA, Mistral) and generative AI application development
  • Strong proficiency in Python; experience with TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, and Hugging Face
  • Solid understanding of Transformer architecture, attention mechanisms, and NLP fundamentals
  • Experience designing RAG pipelines with vector databases (Pinecone, ChromaDB, Weaviate, FAISS)
  • Proficiency with cloud AI services on AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock), Azure (OpenAI, ML Studio), or GCP (Vertex AI)
  • Strong knowledge of MLOps practices: MLflow, Kubeflow, model monitoring, feature stores
  • Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel
