Job Description
Lead Generative AI Specialist
Are you a highly motivated, creative individual and passionate about sales and proposals
Would you like to be a part of successful team
Join our team!
Are you passionate about building productiongrade AI systems that deliver real business value Do you enjoy designing scalable platforms, deploying large language models, and operating AI services reliably in enterprise environments Join our Digital Technology Team and help power the next generation of AIdriven energy solutions.
Our team develops industryleading products and services that optimize energy production and processing. In this role, you will focus on handson generative AI engineering, working across model integration, AI platforms, and MLOps to operationalize largescale AI solutions that are secure, scalable, and performant.
Partner with the best
As a Generative AI Specialist, you will be embedded in crossfunctional delivery teams, building, deploying, and operating generative AI services in a commercial and industrial context. You will work endtoend across the AI lifecycle-from model onboarding and finetuning to inference optimization, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
As a Lead Generative AI Specialist, you will be responsible for:
- Engineering and deploying productionready generative AI solutions, including LLMs, VLMs, and multimodal models, with a strong emphasis on inference, scalability, and reliability.
- Designing and operating LLM Ops pipelines, including model versioning, finetuning, evaluation, deployment, rollback, and lifecycle management.
- Building and maintaining AI platforms and services that support prompt management, embeddings, vector search, retrievalaugmented generation (RAG), and toolcalling workflows.
- Integrating generative AI capabilities into enterprise applications using APIs, microservices, and eventdriven architectures.
- Implementing MLOps best practices, including CI/CD for models, automated testing, performance benchmarking, observability, logging, and cost monitoring.
- Optimizing model performance across latency, throughput, accuracy, and cost using techniques such as quantization, catching, batching, and model routing.
- Collaborating with cloud, data, security, and product teams to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for security, governance, and responsible AI.
- Producing clear technical documentation and operational runbooks and communicating delivery status and business value to stakeholders.
- Mentoring engineers and contributing to reusable frameworks, standards, and platform capabilities.
Fuel Your Passion
To be successful in this role, you will have:
- A master's degree in computer science, AI, Machine Learning, or a related field, or equivalent handson industry experience.
- PhD is a plus, but strong delivery experience is preferred.
- Proven experience deploying and operating generative AI models in production, rather than only research or experimentation.
- Strong proficiency in Python, with practical experience using PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, and transformerbased architectures.
- Experience with AI platform and MLOps tooling, such as model registries, experiment tracking, orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring solutions.
- Solid understanding of cloudnative architectures, containers, and scalable inference patterns (e.g., Kubernetesbased deployments).
- Handson experience with RAG systems, vector databases, embeddings, prompt optimization, and evaluation frameworks.
- Strong software engineering discipline, including testing, code reviews, documentation, and production support.
- Excellent problemsolving, collaboration, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering and business teams.
- A deliveryfocused mindset, comfortable-owning systems in production and continuously improving them.
