About the Role

We're seeking a Senior AI Engineer to lead cutting-edge AI/ML solutions across multiple initiatives. You'll combine hands-on development with strategic thinking, working on projects from intelligent automation to predictive analytics while shaping our AI strategy.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy production AI/ML models for intelligent automation, predictive systems, pattern recognition, and decision support
• Research and experiment with state-of-the-art AI techniques (deep learning, NLP, computer vision, RL) to identify new opportunities
• Build and optimize ML infrastructure including training pipelines, model serving, data preprocessing, and monitoring frameworks
• Develop transformation systems that process structured data, understand patterns, and enable intelligent cross-platform automation
• Integrate LLMs using LangChain, LlamaIndex, and similar frameworks to create conversational systems, document processing, and automated workflows
• Design agentic AI systems that autonomously interact with tools, APIs, and services to accomplish multi-step tasks
• Build integrations between AI systems and third-party applications via RESTful APIs, webhooks, and event-driven architectures
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and data science teams to identify AI opportunities and integrate capabilities
• Establish ML best practices including versioning, A/B testing, monitoring, and continuous improvement processes
• Stay current with AI research, evaluate emerging technologies, and recommend strategic investments
• Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and build strong AI engineering culture

Requirements

• 5+ in AI/ML engineering with proven track record deploying production AI systems, especially LLM-based applications and intelligent automation
• Deep expertise in LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar LLM frameworks, with strong understanding of prompt engineering, RAG, and AI orchestration
• Strong software engineering skills in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, RESTful APIs, microservices, and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP)
• Production experience with LLMs including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RAG implementation, and managing API limits/costs
• Experience building agentic AI systems and orchestrating workflows that integrate multiple AI models and external services
• Excellent problem-solving, communication skills, and ability to work in cross-functional teams

Bonus Points

• Experience with major LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Azure OpenAI) and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB) for RAG
• Open-source contributions to LLM frameworks, autonomous agents, or AI orchestration tools
• Production-scale conversational AI, chatbots, or assistants with error handling and context management

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's or Bachelor's in Computer Science, AI, or related field with focus on ML, NLP, or software engineering
• Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) for custom model development and fine-tuning

Working Hours: Standard business hours with flexibility for global team collaboration. Some overlap with North American hours may be required for critical phases.
