• Build AI pipelines using frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar tools.
• Develop REST APIs to integrate AI models into enterprise applications.
• Work with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate) for semantic search and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems.
• Fine-tune and evaluate models for performance, accuracy, and scalability.
• Deploy AI solutions on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform).
• Collaborate with data engineers, product teams, and stakeholders to translate business requirements into AI solutions.
• Ensure responsible AI practices, including bias mitigation and data security.

Required Skills:

• Strong proficiency in Python.
• Experience with Generative AI / LLMs.
