Curious about the role What your typical day would look like

We are looking for a Senior / Lead GenAI Engineer to design and deploy production-grade AI systems for enterprise use cases.

In this role, you will build LLM-powered applications such as retrieval-augmented systems, agentic workflows, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and real-world impact. Also, you will work on internal product development and support client-focused projects, with exposure to the pharma domain being a plus.

You'll collaborate with experienced team members and learn to create impactful AI solutions while optimizing and developing GenAI applications.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Supporting the design, development, and deployment of GenAI solutions, learning to address challenges like hallucinations, bias, and latency, while contributing to performance and reliability improvements.

- Collaborating with both internal teams and external stakeholders, particularly in the pharma space, to understand business requirements and contribute to the development of tailored AI-powered systems.

- Assisting in the full lifecycle of AI project delivery, including ideation, model fine-tuning, deployment, and performance monitoring under the guidance of senior team members.

- Learning and applying fine-tuning techniques (such as LoRA, PEFT) to Large Language Models (LLMs) for specific business needs.

- Assisting in the development of scalable pipelines for AI model deployment, including handling error management, monitoring, and retraining strategies.

- Actively participating in a collaborative environment, sharing ideas and working as part of a dynamic team of data scientists and AI engineers.

What do we expect

Key Responsibilities:

GenAI & Agentic AI Development

- Design and deploy NLP and GenAI solutions using LLMs, fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, PEFT), and AI-powered automation.

- Build and optimize LLM-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and AI agents with high accuracy and contextual awareness.

- Implement agentic AI systems enabling autonomous, multi-step workflows using orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, etc.).

Architecture & Pipelines

- Architect scalable NLP pipelines covering text preprocessing, entity recognition (NER), summarization, Q&A, and conversational AI.

- Lead research and implementation of advanced GenAI techniques: LLMs, Agentic Solutioning, transformers, embeddings, RAG, and multi-modal models.

- Optimize inference pipelines using quantization, model distillation, and retrieval-enhanced generation for performance and cost efficiency.

Production & MLOps

- Develop scalable model deployment pipelines with robust error handling, monitoring, and retraining strategies.

- Ensure LLM observability and guardrails - covering model monitoring, safety, fairness, and regulatory compliance.

- Lead MLOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud deployments on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Collaboration & Delivery

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate GenAI solutions into enterprise applications via robust APIs and microservices.

- Work with internal teams and external stakeholders (including pharma clients) to translate business requirements into AI solutions.

- Mentor junior engineers, champion AI best practices, and contribute to AI governance frameworks in regulated industries.

Key skills

- 5-7.5 years in NLP, Generative AI, or related ML discipline.

- 2+ years working with GenAI/LLMs in production systems.

- Deep expertise in LLMs, transformer architecture, Agentic Frameworks and fine-tuning techniques.

- Strong knowledge of NLP pipelines, including text preprocessing, tokenization, embeddings, and named entity recognition (NER).

- Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, (FAISS, Pinecone, ChromaDB), and prompt engineering.

- Hands-on experience with Agentic AI systems, LLM observability tools, and AI safety guardrails.

- Proficiency in Python and backend development (Django/Flask preferred), with strong API and microservices expertise.

- Familiarity with MLOps, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and scalable model deployment strategies.

- Prior experience in life sciences, pharma, or other regulated industries is a plus.

- A problem-solving mindset with the ability to work independently, drive innovation, and mentor junior engineers.

What makes this role exciting

- Opportunity to work on real-world, production-grade GenAI systems at enterprise scale.

- Exposure to diverse industries and high-impact problem statements.

- A strong ecosystem of AI practitioners, accelerators, and innovation-led culture.

- Ability to shape next-generation AI solutions beyond prototypes.
