Responsibilities
- Technical leadership: Own the design and delivery of CV and NLP solutions end-to-end, from problem framing and feasibility through model development, deployment, and monitoring.
- Computer Vision: Build and optimise models for image and video classification, object detection, segmentation, OCR and document understanding, and visual search using modern deep-learning architectures.
- Natural Language Processing: Develop solutions for text classification, named-entity recognition, summarisation, semantic search, and conversational AI using transformer models.
- LLMs and Generative AI: Design and deliver applications built on large language models, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and evaluation of GenAI outputs.
- MLOps and productionization: Establish robust MLOps practices, reproducible training pipelines, model versioning, CI/CD for models, automated testing, monitoring, and drift detection.
- Scalable deployment: Deploy models as scalable, low-latency services on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), including containerised and, where needed, edge or GPU-optimized inference.
- Data and evaluation: Partner with data engineering on data pipelines and labelling strategy, and define rigorous evaluation, benchmarking, and responsible-AI checks for every model.
- Client engagement: Work directly with clients and solution architects to scope use cases, set realistic expectations, present results, and translate AI outcomes into business value.
- Team leadership and mentoring: Lead, coach, and grow a pod of ML engineers and data scientists; run code and design reviews; and uphold engineering standards and best practices.
- Applied research: Track advances in CV, NLP, and GenAI, run focused experiments, and bring proven techniques into Netscribes' delivery and innovation work.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field.
- 8+ years in software/data roles, including 5+ years building machine learning systems and 2+ years leading or mentoring engineers.
- Expert-level Python and strong software engineering fundamentals: testing, version control, code review, and clean, maintainable code.
- Deep hands-on experience with modern deep-learning frameworks such as PyTorch and/or TensorFlow.
- Proven delivery in Computer Vision detection, segmentation, classification, or OCR using libraries and frameworks such as OpenCV and current detection architectures.
- Proven delivery in NLP using transformer models and the Hugging Face ecosystem.
- Practical experience with LLMs and Generative AI, including fine- tuning, prompt engineering, and retrieval-augmented generation.
- Strong MLOps experience with pipelines, model registries, containerization (Docker), and tools such as MLflow, Kubeflow, or equivalents.
- Experience deploying ML on at least one major cloud platform (AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, or Google Vertex AI).
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical and client stakeholders.
- Publications, patents, or open-source contributions in CV, NLP, or applied ML.
- Experience operating MLOps and ML platforms at scale, including Kubernetes-based serving.
- Hands-on work with vector databases and large-scale semantic search.
- Experience with multimodal models that combine vision and language.
- Exposure to edge or on-device inference and model optimisation (quantisation, distillation, pruning).
- Domain experience in market intelligence, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, or financial services.
- Education: Graduates only (please ignore pursuing/drop out/12th or 10th pass).
