Curious about the role? What your typical day would look like?

As an AI lead specializing in Generative AI, and Machine Learning Engineering (MLE), you will be at the forefront of AI innovation. Your role will involve designing, deploying, and operationalizing sophisticated models—including large language models (LLMs)—to solve complex business problems. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to create scalable, production-ready AI solutions that drive intelligent automation and creativity across industries.

Your Key Responsibilities:

● Generative AI, NLP & MLE: Design, develop, deploy, and scale advanced applications using Generative AI models (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Mistral), NLP techniques, and MLE/MLOps best practices to solve business challenges and unlock new opportunities.

● Model Customization & Fine-Tuning: Apply techniques such as LoRA, PEFT, and fine-tuning of LLMs to build domain-specific models aligned with business use cases, with a focus on making them deployable in real-world environments.

● ML Engineering & Deployment: Implement end-to-end ML pipelines—including data preprocessing, model training, versioning, testing, and deployment—using tools like MLflow, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD practices.

● Innovative Problem Solving: Leverage cutting-edge AI and ML methodologies to solve practical business problems and deliver measurable results.

● Scalable AI Solutions: Ensure robust deployment, monitoring, and retraining of models in production environments, working closely with data engineering and platform teams.

● Data-Driven Insights: Conduct deep analysis of structured and unstructured data to uncover trends, guide decisions, and optimize AI models.

● Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Consulting, Engineering, and Platform teams to integrate AI/ML solutions into broader architectures and business strategies.

● Client Engagement: Work directly with clients to understand requirements, present tailored AI solutions, and provide advisory on the adoption and operationalization of Generative AI and ML.

• MLE & Production Readiness: Proven experience in building ML models that are scalable, reliable, and production-ready, including exposure to MLE/MLOps workflows and tools.
• Deployment Tools & Best Practices: Familiarity with containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), model tracking (MLflow), and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) for deploying AI solutions at scale.
• Proficiency in development using Python frameworks (such as Django/Flask) or other similar technologies.
• In-depth understanding of APIs, microservices architecture, and cloud-based deployment strategies.
• Innovation & Curiosity: A passion for staying updated with the latest in Gen AI, LLMs, and ML engineering practices.
• Communication: Ability to translate complex technical concepts into business-friendly insights and recommendations.
