    Job Description

    Generative AI Lead | 6–8 Years Experience

    We're looking for a seasoned Machine Learning Engineer who thrives at the intersection of data, engineering, and business impact. If you love turning messy real-world problems into production-grade AI solutions — this one's for you.


    Work Schedule

    This is a contract role requiring 2 days onsite per week. Candidates must be able to commute to the office location.


    What You'll Do

    • Partner directly with business stakeholders to define ML use cases, success metrics, and evaluation frameworks — translating strategy into working models
    • Lead end-to-end data workflows: exploration, quality checks, feature engineering, and dataset preparation
    • Build, train, and iterate on ML models; run experiments, compare candidates, and champion the best solution
    • Package and deploy models into production-ready services using containerization and MLOps best practices
    • Own post-deployment health — set up monitoring, track model performance, and drive continuous improvement
