Your vision and passion will be critical as we continue to innovate and enable organizations to harness the speed and agility of a cloud-first strategy.
What You’ll Do (Role Expectations)
- Independently develop and implement machine learning models and Generative AI solutions, with a strong emphasis on building and deploying Agentic AI architectures
- Drive the end-to-end productionization of AI agents, navigating the complexities of multi-step reasoning, tool use, state management, and LLM orchestration in live environments
- Design and implement advanced LLM Ops frameworks, ensuring deep observability, rigorous monitoring, logging, and evaluation specifically tailored for dynamic AI agents
- Assist in refining and optimizing both modern Gen AI pipelines and existing classical ML models (feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning) for maximum accuracy, efficiency, and scalability
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate complex business needs into technical solutions
Who You Are (Success Profile)

- Proven hands-on experience in creating Gen AI-based systems, including Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and a clear history of operationalizing Agentic AI in production
- Deep understanding of MLOps and LLMOps principles, specifically dealing with the unique monitoring, observability, and debugging challenges of non-deterministic AI agents
- A solid computer science foundation (data structures, algorithms) coupled with expertise in Python (scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow) and SQL for comprehensive feature engineering and model evaluation
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work independently and as a strong team player
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
- Expertise with cloud services such as AWS, GCP, or Azure and ML platforms like Kubeflow or SageMaker
