We are seeking a dynamic AI Engineer with proven expertise in deploying machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models into production. You will play a key role in transforming AI models into production-ready applications, with a particular focus on LLM-native development, vector databases and building innovative AI-driven applications and services. In this role, you will collaborate with the data science team, driving experimentation, rapid iteration and the implementation of scalable AI solutions. A deep understanding of Python, cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCPorAzure) and experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy and optimize ML/DL models: Ensure scalability, performance and reliability in production environments, moving from experimental to production-grade solutions.
• Develop LLM-native applications: Design, build and maintain AI applications utilizing large language models (LLMs), embracing an experimentation-driven process to unlock new capabilities.
• Leverage vector databases: Utilize vector databases to enhance retrieval performance and streamline AI workflows.
• Collaborate and iterate: Work closely with data scientists and product teams to integrate models and solutions into business operations, rapidly iterating through experimentation and proof-of-concepts (PoCs).
• Implement MLOps best practices: Ensure the continuous integration and delivery of AI models through MLOps pipelines, incorporating monitoring and feedback loops.
• Productization: Turn experimental models into production-ready applications by applying best practices in software engineering, cloud architecture and feedback mechanisms.

• 3+ years of experience deploying AI models: Proven experience in putting ML/DL models into production environments at scale.
• Expertise in building AI applications: Hands-on experience building AI-driven applications and services, with a focus on delivering practical solutions from experimental models.
• Experience with Large Language Models (LLMs): Strong understanding of LLMs, including their experimentation and productionization.
• Vector databases: Experience with vector databases for enhanced retrieval and AI performance.
• Proficiency in Python and cloud platforms: Deep expertise in Python and experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Research and experimentation mindset: Ability to design, experiment and iterate with LLMs and AI models, balancing lean experimentation and structured workflows.
• MLOps knowledge: Familiarity with MLOps pipelines, monitoring and optimization techniques for continuous delivery and feedback integration.
• Problem-solving and adaptability: Ability to navigate a fast-paced environment, embracing agility and continuous improvement in AI solution development.

Preferred Skills:

• Familiarity with prompt engineering techniques, such as few-shot learning and dynamic prompt optimization.
• Experience in creating PoCs and transitioning them into scalable, production-grade AI systems.
• Knowledge of caching strategies, cost optimization and debugging in LLM-based applications.
