Requirements
Must:
We are looking for someone with over 8 years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years dedicated to AI/ML. You should have a standout university degree in a relevant field and fluency in business English. Proven leadership in managing teams through complex infrastructure and data-centric projects is essential, as is a collaborative and innovative mindset. You must have hands-on experience in designing and building applications using GenAI models, including open-source and code-generating models. Strong Python skills and familiarity with AI frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, and PyTorch are necessary. Additionally, experience with building and querying vector stores and knowledge retrieval systems as well as working with cloud platforms is required. A working knowledge of MLOps, CI/CD for ML, and model monitoring is key, along with an understanding of data privacy, model safety, and responsible AI practices. Finally, excellent communication skills are important for conveying technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Responsibilities
In this role, I will expect you to design and lead the development of AI products targeted at business-specific use cases. You will mentor and guide the software engineering team, providing clear technical directions and architectural oversight. Leading the development of RAG and/or fine-tuning for LLMs and data pipelines for various data sources, such as pricing databases and market benchmarks, will be part of your responsibilities. Additionally, I will need you to set engineering standards and code quality guidelines for the AI team and collaborate with MLOps engineers to deploy and maintain models. Optimizing the performance, latency, and cost of AI/GenAI solutions will also be expected of you.
Moreover, you will design scalable architectures for AI/GenAI products and evaluate, select, and integrate third-party libraries and open-source frameworks. Setting up databases and LLM frameworks, along with working with a cloud platform (AWS) to deploy and manage services securely, will be critical aspects of your role. In terms of MVP delivery and experimentation, I want you to rapidly prototype new ideas and iterate based on user feedback. Leading technical PoCs and MVP development while evaluating build-vs-buy decisions for GenAI components is also part of the job. It’s essential to stay ahead of AI/GenAI developments and assess new models/tools for adoption.
