Job Details

We are seeking a highly experienced AI Senior Engineer to design, build, and optimize advanced AI and machine learning solutions for large-scale enterprise environments. This role involves hands-on development of ML models, LLM-based applications, automation workflows, and AI-driven operational systems. The ideal candidate will have strong engineering expertise in Python, ML frameworks, data pipelines, cloud platforms, and production-grade AI deployment.

You will work closely with architecture, data engineering, DevOps/SRE, and product teams to deliver intelligent, scalable, and high-performing AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities

AI & Machine Learning Development

  • Design, develop, train, and optimize ML models, including classical ML, deep learning, and LLM-based solutions.

  • Implement time-series forecasting, anomaly detection, NLP pipelines, predictive analytics, and recommendation systems.

  • Build scalable training and inference workflows using modern ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn).

  • Optimize model performance, latency, and accuracy for production workloads.

Generative AI & LLM Engineering

  • Build applications using LLMs (OpenAI, Hugging Face, Azure OpenAI, etc.).

  • Develop LLM-based agents, chatbots, automation assistants, and knowledge retrieval systems.

  • Implement prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, vector stores, and embeddings.

  • Ensure secure, governed, and compliant integration of LLM-based systems.

AI Platform & MLOps Engineering

  • Build and manage end-to-end ML pipelines, including data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, and deployment.

  • Work with ML Ops tools such as MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI, or Databricks.

  • Implement model monitoring, drift detection, retraining automation, and CI/CD for ML systems.

  • Ensure scalable, resilient, and cost-optimized ML infrastructure in cloud environments.

Data Engineering & Processing

  • Work with large, complex datasets using Spark, SQL, Python, and distributed data systems.

  • Develop automated pipelines for data preprocessing, quality checks, transformations, and feature stores.

  • Collaborate with data engineering teams to improve data availability, lineage, and reliability.

AI Ops & Intelligent Automation

  • Build AI-driven operational tools for anomaly detection, noise reduction, auto-remediation, and predictive observability.

  • Integrate AI insights into SRE/DevOps workflows, dashboards, and automation frameworks.

  • Accelerate operational efficiency using AI to reduce MTTR and prevent incidents.

Cloud Engineering

  • Deploy and manage AI workloads using cloud-native services in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.

  • Utilize serverless, containerized, and distributed compute systems for training and inference.

  • Optimize cloud resource usage for performance and cost.

Security, Compliance & Responsible AI

  • Apply enterprise-level security, access control, and governance for AI/ML systems.

  • Implement responsible AI principles including bias detection, explainability, transparency, and auditability.

  • Ensure privacy-preserving model operations and data protection.

Collaboration & Leadership

  • Work closely with architects and cross-functional teams to align AI solutions with enterprise strategy.

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering best practices.

  • Document systems, design decisions, models, and operational workflows clearly and effectively.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 6 12+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering.

  • Strong programming skills in Python, with expertise in:

    • PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn

    • NLP and LLM frameworks

    • Data processing libraries (Pandas, NumPy, Spark)

  • Hands-on experience with ML Ops tools and cloud AI services.

  • Experience training and deploying ML/LLM models in production.

  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, microservices, and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).

  • Experience with data engineering pipelines, ETL processes, and SQL.

  • Solid understanding of model monitoring, drift management, and performance tuning.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform AI/ML).

  • Experience building RAG, vector search, and embedding-based solutions.

  • Experience in large-scale automation, AI Ops, or SRE environments.

  • Experience with enterprise security and compliance frameworks.

  • Background working in financial
