Key Responsibilities: Machine Learning & Generative AI Development (core focus):- Design and develop Machine Learning and Generative AI solutions for complex business problems, applying statistical analysis, data mining, and machine learning techniques.
- Apply prompt engineering, RAG, and LLM evaluation in end-to-end AI application development.
- Work on complex problems where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of several factors.
- Collaborate with domain experts to understand business requirements and formulate data driven solutions.
Evaluation, Governance & Enterprise Grade Quality:- Deliver solutions to enterprise grade quality standards: rigorous, validated, reproducible, and ready for mission critical use.
- Define and implement evaluation frameworks for agent accuracy, task completion, reliability, and user satisfaction.
- Develop benchmarks, test datasets, and performance metrics for agentic AI systems.
- Contribute to AI governance, model validation, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Model Optimization & Deployment:- Implement strategies for model optimization, considering the constraints and requirements of mainframe environments.
- Support packaging and deployment of models and AI solutions into production environments.
Collaboration & Communication:- Explain complex technical concepts and predictive analytics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Contribute to code reviews, technical documentation, and best practices.
Required Experience: - 6+ years of Data Science experience, with proven expertise in Machine Learning and Generative AI.
- B.Sc. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience working with Large Language Models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Llama, or equivalent), with familiarity across different LLM architectures.
- Hands on experience with prompt engineering, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), LLM evaluation, and AI application development.
- Experience designing performance metrics and evaluation frameworks for AI/ML systems.
- Familiarity with agentic frameworks and agent-based workflows using LangGraph, LangChain, or CrewAI.
- Strong proficiency in writing Python backend APIs (using FastAPI, Flask or similar) and in data science libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Strong knowledge of statistical analysis, hypothesis testing, data mining, and machine learning techniques.

- Self-starter with intellectual curiosity; self-learner, flexible, and able to work in a multi tasked and dynamic environment.
- Excellent communication skills, with demonstrated ability to explain complex technical concepts and predictive analytics to non-technical audiences.
What Will Make You Stand Out:- Experience with LLM evaluation and observability tooling such as Langfuse, OpenTelemetry based stacks.
- Experience with vector databases and embedding models for retrieval and semantic search.
- Experience with MLOps practices such as experiment tracking, model registries, and pipelines (MLflow or Kubeflow).
- Experience with fine tuning and open weight models such as Llama, Mistral, and Qwen.
- Experience with Agile methodology and Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence).
