Title: Senior Generative AI Engineer (Google Gemini & Vertex AI) - Remote
Duration: 6 Months with possible for extension
Location: Remote
Candidates must be available to work West Coast (PST) hours.
Only W2 candidates are eligible for this position. Third-party or C2C candidates will not be considered.
Day to Day Responsibilities
- RAG & Prompt Engineering: Craft and refine effective prompts for RAG, grounding, and context tuning to achieve optimal AI performance in product development.
- High-Performance API Engineering: Develop asynchronous microservices (FastAPI) using Server-Sent Events (SSE) or WebSockets to stream real-time LLM responses to front-end UIs without backend timeouts.
- Vector Database Infrastructure: Design, develop, and implement robust Vector Databases using LLMs and modern retrieval technologies to capture information from diverse engineering sources (PDFs, design docs, regulatory guidelines).
- Data Extraction & Structuring Pipelines: Build and optimize pipelines to extract and structure multi-modal data (tables, text, images) from unstructured documents for LLM training, grounding, and runtime query execution.
- LLM Fine-Tuning & Training: Fine-tune and train generative AI models using client's engineering data and domain knowledge to create high-accuracy, domain-specific models.
- GenAI Application & Tool Development: Design and implement scalable backend APIs (FastAPI/REST) and UI integration interfaces so internal engineers can query knowledge bases and analyze data.
- Automated Requirements Generation: Develop backend functionalities to automatically generate technical requirements from design documents, user stories, and system specification files.
- Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: Thoroughly document architecture, code, REST endpoints, and model training procedures to enable seamless knowledge transfer to client's internal teams.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), System Engineers, and V&V Test teams to optimize AI-powered workflows.
- AI Guardrails, MLOps & Cost Governance: Implement hallucination checks, PII masking, and guardrails (e.g., NeMo Guardrails) for medical device context. Track token usage, latency, and costs using LangSmith or Vertex AI monitoring.
- Collaborate closely with engineers and cross-functional teams to design and develop AI solutions.
- Develop and integrate Generative AI applications and APIs.
- Work with large datasets, document processing, and data pipelines.
- Participate in problem-solving, solution design, and technical discussions.
- Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders.
