· Utilize Azure AI services and infrastructure for development, training, inferencing, and model lifecycle management.

· Support and collaborate on the integration of large language models (LLMs), embeddings, vector databases, and RAG techniques where applicable.

· Monitor deployed models for drift, performance degradation, and data quality issues, and implement retraining workflows as needed.

· Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software engineers, product managers, business analysts, and architects to define and deliver AI-driven solutions.

· Communicate complex ML concepts, model outputs, and technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

· Stay current with the latest research, trends, and advancements in AI/ML and evaluate new tools and frameworks for potential adoption.

· Maintain comprehensive documentation of data pipelines, model architectures, training configurations, deployment steps, and experiment results.

· Drive innovation through experimentation, rapid prototyping, and the development of future-ready AI components and best practices.

· Write modular, maintainable, and production-ready code in Python with proper documentation and version control.

· Contribute to building reusable components and ML accelerators.

Qualifications:

· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field over 7+ years.
