Job Description: 

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior AI/ML Engineer with 8+ years of experience in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and production-grade software engineering. This role serves as a critical bridge between cutting-edge research and scalable enterprise solutions.

The ideal candidate will own the full AI lifecycle—from architecting advanced neural networks and fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs) to building robust MLOps pipelines and enabling scalable AI platforms within Databricks. As a senior technical leader, you will champion engineering best practices, mentor junior engineers, and translate complex business challenges into impactful AI-driven applications.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and deploy scalable ML models including regression, forecasting, and deep learning architectures.
  • Lead LLM integration and fine-tuning using techniques like LoRA and PEFT while optimizing performance and cost.
  • Build and automate MLOps pipelines in Databricks using Docker, FastAPI, and serverless solutions.
  • Develop user-facing AI tools and ensure seamless system integration.
  • Maintain data quality, infrastructure reliability, and platform scalability.
  • Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive AI adoption.

Technical Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering and software development.
  • Advanced Python expertise including pandas, polars, NumPy, scikit-learn, and PyTorch.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Generative AI, prompt engineering, and LLM fine-tuning.
  • Experience evaluating model performance, latency, and scalability.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS or Azure cloud platforms.
  • Strong understanding of Git, Docker, CI/CD, and modern development workflows.
  • Expertise in data cleaning, feature engineering, and visualization (e.g., Seaborn).
  • Deep knowledge of Databricks including AutoML and model lifecycle automation.
  • Experience building APIs using FastAPI and deploying scalable AI solutions.
