AI System Design & Deployment:

• Design end-to-end ML/AI pipelines that support the continuous integration and deployment of machine learning models into production environments.
• Leverage MLOps best practices for model versioning, retraining, performance monitoring, and scalability.
• Ensure models are optimized for latency, accuracy, and scalability by deploying on cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Data Gathering and Preprocessing:

• Collaborate with data engineering teams to design and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines for AI-specific data needs.
• Engineer and preprocess large, complex datasets from various sources to ensure model robustness, accuracy, and generalizability.
• Contribute to the centralized data knowledge management system to streamline data access for ML/AI use cases.

Predictive Analytics & Foresight Generation:

• Perform predictive analytics to support business strategies, creating foresight-driven models that enhance customer experiences and drive revenue growth.
• Evaluate and implement techniques for model interpretability, explainability, and bias reduction.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement:

• Partner with business stakeholders to identify areas where ML/AI can drive value and translate these into actionable AI projects.
• Work closely with data scientists, data engineers, and software development teams to ensure successful model deployment and alignment with data architecture.
• Document processes, code, and models for knowledge sharing and team scalability.

Continuous Improvement & Research:

• Stay updated on advancements in ML/AI, particularly LLMs and generative AI, and identify opportunities to apply these innovations to business problems.
• Conduct ongoing model evaluation and improvement based on performance metrics, customer feedback, and evolving business needs.

Experience Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in machine learning, AI engineering, or data science, with a track record of successfully deploying models in production.
• Extensive experience working with large datasets, building and fine-tuning ML models, and deploying on cloud platforms.
• Demonstrated expertise in deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and familiarity with NLP and large language models.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Master’s or Ph.D. in Machine Learning, AI, or a similar field is strongly preferred for a senior role.

Preferred Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in Python and ML libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, Keras, Hugging Face).
• Strong experience in cloud-based ML services (e.g., AWS SageMaker, GCP AI Platform, Azure ML).
• Knowledge of MLOps tools and practices (e.g., MLflow, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes).
