Key Responsibilities Lead the architecture and design of enterprise-grade ML platforms , including data pipelines, model training pipelines, model inference services, and monitoring frameworks. Architect and optimize ML lifecycle management systems (MLOps) to support scalable, reproducible, and secure deployment of ML models in production. Design and implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, vector databases , semantic search , and LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Autogen). Define and enforce best practices in model development, versioning, CI/CD pipelines , model drift detection, retraining, and rollback mechanisms. Build robust pipelines for data ingestion, preprocessing, feature engineering , and model training at scale , using batch and real-time streaming architectures. Architect multi-modal ML solutions involving NLP, computer vision, time-series, or structured data use cases. Collaborate with data scientists, ML engineers, DevOps, and product teams to convert research prototypes into scalable production services . Implement observability for ML models including custom metrics, performance monitoring, and explainability (XAI) tooling. Evaluate and integrate third-party LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Cohere) or open-source models (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral) as part of intelligent application design. Create architectural blueprints and reference implementations for LLM APIs, model hosting, fine-tuning, and embedding pipelines . Guide the selection of compute frameworks (GPUs, TPUs), model serving frameworks (e.g., TorchServe, Triton, BentoML) , and scalable inference strategies (batch, real-time, streaming). Drive AI governance and responsible AI practices including auditability, compliance, bias mitigation, and data protection. Stay up to date on the latest developments in ML frameworks, foundation models, model compression, distillation, and efficient inference . 14. Ability to coach and lead technical teams , fostering growth, knowledge sharing, and technical excellence in AI/ML domains. Experience managing the technical roadmap for AI-powered products , documentations ensuring timely delivery, performance optimization, and stakeholder alignment. Required Qualifications Bachelors or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field. 8+ years of experience in software architecture , with 5+ years focused specifically on machine learning systems and 2 years in leading team. Proven expertise in designing and deploying ML systems at scale , across cloud and hybrid environments. Strong hands-on experience with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, Scikit-learn). Experience with vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant) and embedding models (e.g., SBERT, OpenAI, Cohere). Demonstrated proficiency in MLOps tools and platforms : MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI, DataBricks, Airflow, etc. In-depth knowledge of cloud AI/ML services on AWS, Azure, or GCP – including certification(s) in one or more platforms. Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for model packaging and deployment. Ability to design LLM-based systems , including hybrid models (open-source + proprietary), fine-tuning strategies, and prompt engineering. Solid understanding of security, compliance , and AI risk management in ML deployments. Preferred Skills Experience with AutoML , hyperparameter tuning, model selection, and experiment tracking.
