• Deploy and operate these LLM applications at scale, ensuring they perform reliably in production environments.
• Containerize AI services, implement deployment pipelines for rapid iteration, and establish monitoring systems that track both performance metrics and AI-specific indicators like response quality, hallucination rates, and autonomous decision accuracy.
• Ensure AI systems are production-ready and enterprise-grade.
• Manage the infrastructure that powers AI applications, optimize for performance and cost-effectiveness, establishing automated evaluation frameworks for LLM applications, and build robust fallback mechanisms.
• Ensure AI systems meet security and compliance requirements while maintaining the ability to rapidly iterate and improve AI capabilities based on user feedback and performance data.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in AI/ML engineering, software development, or related technical roles with demonstrable experience building and deploying AI powered applications.
• Good theoretical knowledge of AI, ML and NLP principles as demonstrated by a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or equivalent degree.
• Strong programming proficiency in Python and familiarity with Java/Kotlin, with a solid understanding of API design, development and integration patterns.
• LLM and Generative AI Expertise.
• Experience with frameworks such as LangChain , LangGraph , and APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.
• Knowledge of vector databases and RAG (e.g., OpenSearch, ElasticSearch ) for semantic search and knowledge retrieval.
• Demonstrated proficiency in prompt engineering and orchestrating AI agents, chatbots, and autonomous workflows.
• Familiarity with cloud AI/ML services (Azure preferred, also AWS or Google Cloud), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD deployment pipelines, automated testing for LLM applications, infrastructure monitoring, logging, and performance tracking.
• Strong problem-solving abilities with experience debugging AI systems, optimizing performance bottlenecks, and implementing scalable solutions.
• Collaborative mindset with excellent communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams in an agile environment, including product managers, data scientists, and platform engineers.
• Continuous learning orientation with demonstrated ability to quickly adopt new AI technologies, frameworks, and best practices in this rapidly evolving field.
• Hands-on experience with NLP, computer vision, image processing, speech to text and deep learning, including working knowledge of TensorFlow/ PyTorch , as well as transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and fine-tuning for vision or language models.
