• Optimize transformer-based architectures and enhance the accuracy of AI-generated responses through RAG systems.
• Develop and refine evaluation metrics and processes for continuous improvement of AI models and systems, including the implementation of MLOps practices.
• Fine-tune open-source and closed-source models, ensuring they are evaluated for performance and meet real-world application requirements.
• Stay abreast of the latest advancements in AI/ML, particularly in areas such as natural language processing and large language models.
• Contribute to the development of AI strategies and roadmaps for future initiatives across various business units.
• Align AI systems with data privacy regulations and implement standard methodologies for responsible AI development.
• Present complex AI concepts and project progress to a wide range of collaborators through presentations and reports.

Who You Are:

• A passionate AI engineer with a strong foundation in machine learning, natural language processing, and software engineering.
• Experienced in developing and deploying production-grade AI systems, particularly conversational AI and chatbots.
• Proficient in implementing and optimizing large language models, transformer architectures, and PEFT techniques such as LoRA and QLoRA.
• Skilled at fine-tuning models with fewer resources while maintaining high performance,
• applying techniques like low-rank adaptation and quantization.
• Comfortable working in cross-functional teams and translating business requirements into technical solutions.
• Adept at balancing innovation with practical, scalable implementations in a business context.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Relevant work experience in AI/ML development, with a focus on NLP and conversational AI.
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
• Demonstrated experience with large language models, prompt engineering, LoRA, and QLoRA fine-tuning techniques.
• Proficiency in cloud computing platforms (preferably Azure) for AI model deployment and scaling.
• Experience with MLOps practices, including version control systems (e.g., Git), CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring tools for AI model deployment.

Preferred Qualifications that Set You Apart:

• Familiarity with AI model evaluation metrics, A/B testing methodologies, and experiment tracking tools like MLflow.
• Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• LLM fine-tuning (PEFT techniques like LoRA/QLoRA)
• LLM Model quantization
• LLM Model and Gen AI application evaluation
• Vector database implementation
• RAG retrieval systems development
