ACCOUNTABILITIES:
Engineering:

  • Design, develop, and deploy production-grade traditional ML models (e.g., regression, classification, clustering, recommender systems) for a variety of business use cases.

  • Design, build and operationalize Gen AI (such as Retrieval Augmented Generation) and emerging Agentic AI solutions to address domain specific needs, improve user experiences and automate business workflows.

  • Design, maintain, and optimize end-to-end AI/ML pipelines including data ingestion, training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring on cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS or equivalent).

  • Integrate cloud-native and third-party AI SaaS solutions to accelerate delivery and reduce time to value.

  • Ensure AI/ML solutions are scalable, dependable, secure, and cost-effective within cloud environments.

  • Create reusable components, frameworks, and best practices to accelerate AI development.

Design and Innovation:

  • Evaluating emerging AI technologies including GenAI and agentic AI (e.g., Model Context Protocol (MCP), Google’s Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol), as well as third-party low-code platforms) for their feasibility, scalability, and alignment with cross-functional business needs.

  • Solve for business problems by applying novel techniques and Innovating thinking.

Collaboration:

  • The Senior AI/ML Engineer will partner with data scientists, architects, product managers, business stakeholders, and technical teams across the organization to ensure AI solutions align with organizational goals.

  • Enabling other teams to adopt AI Into their products

  • Leverage diverse skills and perspectives, leading to more effective problem-solving and decision-making.

  • Other duties as assigned.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
Knowledge of:

  • Machine learning algorithms, deep learning frameworks, Cloud AI technologies, GenAI technologies and emerging Agentic AI technologies.

  • Cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) for scalable AI/ML development.

  • Responsible AI principles, including bias mitigation and ethical deployment.

  • ML Ops best practices including CI/CD for ML, model monitoring, and versioning.

  • Proficient in Python and common ML/AI libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).

  • Strong understanding of data engineering, SQL, and feature engineering.

  • Direct experience with cloud services such as AWS Sagemaker, Lambda, ECS, S3, and IAM.

  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (e.g., Airflow, Kubeflow).

  • Working with version control and collaboration tools (Git, Jira, Confluence).

Ability to:

  • Build robust, scalable, and efficient AI/ML solutions in cloud-native environments.

  • Translate ambiguous business problems into clear, technical ML/AI tasks.
