• Detailed JD:
  Responsible for designing, building, and deploying machine learning models and AI-driven systems within the Google Cloud ecosystem. This role bridges data science and software engineering, focusing on creating scalable, production-ready AI solutions—such as Generative AI, natural language processing, and predictive models—using tools like Vertex AI, TensorFlow, and BigQuery. 

Key Responsibilities

• Model Development & Training: Develop and train predictive and generative AI models using Python and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn, often within Vertex AI.
• Google Cloud Platform Implementation: Implement solutions using Google Cloud Platform services like BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Functions, and Vertex AI Pipelines to build scalable infrastructure.
• MLOps and Automation: Design and automate MLOps pipelines (training, deployment, monitoring) to ensure model performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Data Engineering: Construct data pipelines for ingestion, preprocessing, and storage of structured/unstructured data using SQL and BigQuery.
• Generative AI Integration: Implement LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns, and agentic workflows (e.g., using LangChain).
• Optimization & Troubleshooting: Monitor and optimize deployed models for accuracy, latency, and cost-effectiveness. 

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years in AI/ML model deployment and software engineering.
• Technical Proficiencies: Strong programming skills in Python and SQL.
• Google Cloud Platform Expertise: Proven experience with Google Cloud Platform, specifically Vertex AI, Dataflow, and BigQuery.
• ML Frameworks: In-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.
• DevOps/Containerization: Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes (GKE), and CI/CD tools.
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Machine Learning, or a related field. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Google Cloud Platform Professional Machine Learning Engineer certification.
• Experience with Vertex AI agent builder
• Background in Natural Language Processing (NLP) or Computer Vision
