Lead AI Engineer

Deployment, APIs & Cloud Engineering

• Transform models into scalable APIs and microservices using Python, FastAPI/Flask, Docker.
• Deploy and monitor ML/AI systems in AWS/Azure/GCP, optimizing for cost, latency, and reliability.
• Collaborate with MLOps teams on CI/CD pipelines, model versioning, monitoring, and automated evaluation.
• Work with big data technologies including Apache Spark, Hadoop, and NoSQL databases such as MongoDB.

Model Development & Applied AI Engineering

• Build and optimize transformer-based and multimodal models using deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
• Implement fine-tuning, alignment (RLHF/RLAIF), LoRA/QLoRA, pruning, and model evaluation pipelines.
• Develop information retrieval systems, including hybrid dense–sparse retrieval, ranking, knowledge graphs, and relevance optimization.
• Build predictive models and ML pipelines from scratch, including data preparation, feature engineering, and model selection.

Collaboration, Documentation & Mentorship

• Work cross-functionally with CX, engineering, and product stakeholders to translate business needs into AI solutions.
• Document models, experiments, evaluation frameworks, and deployment processes.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal best practices, reusable components, and R&D initiatives.
