Job Description
We seek an innovative AI Engineer (Experience 2 - 5 yrs) to join our team and lead the development of scalable solutions using open-source technologies, LLM APIs, and advanced AI techniques. The ideal candidate will excel in designing RAG, Graph RAG, Agent Systems with function calling, and fine-tuning/customizing LLMs. Proficiency in hosting open-source models (e.g., Llama 2, Mistral) and integrating APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) is critical, along with experience in Python frameworks like Fast API/Flask for production-grade deployments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Architect, build, and optimize AI solutions using open-source models (e.g., Hugging Face, Ollama) and third-party LLM APIs.
- Design and implement advanced techniques including RAG, GraphRAG, Agent Systems with orchestration/function calling, and fine-tuning/prompt-tuning of LLMs.
- Deploy and manage self-hosted open-source models (e.g., via vLLM, TensorRT-LLM) with scalable APIs.
- Collaborate with teams to integrate AI/ML solutions into production systems using FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks.
- Develop automation pipelines for data retrieval, preprocessing, and model evaluation, ensuring alignment with business use cases.
- Stay ahead of AI trends (e.g., open-source LLM advancements, cost-efficient scaling) and drive strategic adoption.
- Ensure robust monitoring, testing, and documentation of systems for reliability and reproducibility.
