  diffusion models

  , and

  multimodal architectures

  .
• Architect end-to-end pipelines involving

  prompt engineering

  ,

  vector databases

  ,

  retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)

  , and

  LLM fine-tuning

  .
• Select and integrate foundational models (e.g.,

  GPT, Claude, LLaMA, Mistral

  ) based on business needs and technical constraints.

Technical Strategy & Leadership

• Define

  GenAI architecture blueprints, best practices, and reusable components

  for rapid development and experimentation.
• Guide teams on

  model evaluation, inference optimization

  , and

  cost-effective scaling strategies

  .
• Stay current on the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape and assess emerging tools, APIs, and frameworks.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Work with product owners, business leaders, and data teams to identify

  high-impact GenAI use cases

  across domains like customer support, content generation, document understanding, and code generation.
• Support

  PoCs, pilots, and production deployments

  of GenAI models in secure, compliant environments.
• Collaborate with MLOps and cloud teams to enable

  continuous delivery, monitoring, and governance

  of GenAI systems.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education:

  Bachelor's or Master's degree in

  Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or related technical field

  . PhD is a plus.

• Experience:

  12-15 years in AI/ML and software engineering, with

  3+ years focused on Generative AI and LLM-based architectures

  .

Core Skills

• Deep expertise in

  machine learning

  ,

  natural language processing (NLP)

  , and

  deep learning architectures

  .
• Hands-on experience with

  LLMs, transformers, fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, PEFT)

  , and

  prompt engineering

  .
• Proficient in

  Python

  , with libraries/frameworks such as

  Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, OpenAI API, PyTorch, TensorFlow

  .
• Experience with

  vector databases

  (e.g., Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate) and

  RAG pipelines

  .
• Strong understanding of

  cloud-native AI architectures

  (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and API integration.

Architectural & Leadership Skills

• Proven ability to design and deliver

  scalable, secure, and efficient GenAI systems

  .
• Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder engagement.
• Ability to mentor engineering teams and drive innovation across the AI/ML ecosystem.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with

  multimodal models

  (text + image/audio/video).
• Knowledge of

  AI governance, ethical AI, and compliance frameworks

  .
• Familiarity with

  MLOps practices for GenAI

  , including model versioning, drift detection, and performance monitoring.
