Requirements
Hands‑on experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, vector databases, and RAG frameworks.
Strong programming skills in Python; familiarity with Java/C++ is a plus.
Proficiency with ML and DL frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace).
Solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, APIs, and distributed systems.
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and containerization (Docker).
Experience building production‑ready AI/ML systems, including CI/CD or MLOps frameworks (MLFlow/BentoML).
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain RAG pipelines, including document ingestion, embedding generation, vector storage, retrieval logic, and LLM orchestration.
Build and optimize LLM‑powered applications for classification, summarization, Q&A, knowledge retrieval, and workflow automation.
Apply core software engineering and ML fundamentals to ensure performance, reliability, and security (e.g., data structures, algorithms, model evaluation, MLOps, API development).
Implement and tune traditional ML models when required (e.g., regression, clustering, feature engineering, classical NLP).
Integrate cloud‑native services (Azure/AWS), data pipelines, and containerized workloads (Docker).
Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams—including data engineers, architects, and mission SMEs—to translate requirements into scalable solutions.
