Join us as an experienced Generative AI Specialist designing and implementing cuttingedge GenAI/LLM solutions across diverse industries. Youll act as a vital bridge between technical teams (Data Science ML Platform) to deliver businesscentric AI value. Youll guide clients on the optimal pathusing techniques like RAG agents or finetuningfor costeffective impact.
Your responsibilities extend beyond prompting to architecting robust AI products via benchmarking prototyping and validation. Youll orchestrate the full AI workflow ensuring seamless model integration optimized for performance security and scale while tackling infrastructure challenges. We provide extensive training to support your success. If youre driven to push AI boundaries and help clients rapidly adopt GenAI with confidence apply to make a real difference.
Responsibilities:
- LLM/GenAI System Development:Design build train finetune and deploy sophisticated AI models leveraging LLMs (e.g. GPTx Claude Gemini Llama Mistral) and other generative techniques.
- Assist in Solution Architecture:Support the GenAI Solution Architect in designing robust scalable and secure applications.
- Application Development:Develop applications powered by GenAI models (both selfmanaged and APIaccessible) that meet business needs and comply with applicable regulations (GDPR EU AI Act model licenses etc.).
- Advanced Prompt Engineering:Design and optimize effective prompts (e.g. fewshot Chain/Tree/Graph of Thought ReAct Selfreflection guardrails) balancing simplicity and complexity to enhance analytical capabilities refine outputs improve user experience and control interactions.
- RAG Implementation:Design and implement RetrievalAugmented Generation (RAG) architectures to improve accuracy and relevance by retrieving information from predetermined knowledge sources providing traceability (source attribution).
- Model Selection & FineTuning:Select and finetune appropriate models (including multimodal VLM SLM Visual Language Models Small Language Models) to create higherquality content (text image audio code etc.) and maximize business value creation opportunities.
- Integration & Deployment (MLOps):Implement MLOps best practices for the GenAI lifecycle including automated pipelines (CI/CD) versioning monitoring and maintenance in production environments (Cloud platforms like AWS Azure GCP). Ensure seamless integration into existing systems and with external tools/APIs potentially utilizing standardized protocols (MCP).
- Evaluation & Responsible AI:Develop and execute rigorous evaluation frameworks to measure model performance reliability fairness and safety. Ensure adherence to Responsible AI principles and help teams and clients navigate endtoend security and compliance processes.
- Research & Innovation:Stay abreast of the latest advancements in GenAI techniques technologies and frameworks. Experiment with new approaches and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
- Collaboration:Work effectively within crossfunctional teams communicating complex technical concepts clearly to diverse stakeholders (both technical and nontechnical).
- Documentation:Document processes methodologies and best practices for knowledge sharing and future reference.
- Use Case Differentiation:Distinguish between use cases suited for Generative AI versus traditional NLP applications (e.g. NER sentiment analysis).
