Role Summary As part of our AI-first strategy at Creatrix Campus , you'll play a critical role in deploying, optimizing, and maintaining Large Language Models (LLMs) like LLaMA, Mistral, and CodeS across our SaaS platform. This role is not limited to experimentationit is about operationalizing AI at scale. Youll ensure our AI services are reliable, secure, cost-effective, and product-ready for higher education institutions in 25+ countries. Youll work across infrastructure (cloud and on-prem), MLOps, and performance optimization while collaborating with software engineers, AI developers, and product teams to embed LLMs into real-world applications like accreditation automation, intelligent student forms, and predictive academic advising. Key Responsibilities LLM Deployment & Optimization Deploy, fine-tune, and optimize open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral, CodeS, DeepSeek). Implement quantization (e.g., 4-bit, 8-bit) and pruning for efficient inference on commodity hardware. Build and manage inference APIs (REST/gRPC) for production use. Infrastructure Management Set up and manage on-premise GPU servers and VM-based deployments. Build scalable cloud-based LLM infrastructure using AWS (SageMaker, EC2), Azure ML, or GCP Vertex AI. Ensure cost efficiency by choosing appropriate hardware and job scheduling strategies. MLOps & Reliability Engineering Develop CI/CD pipelines for model training, testing, evaluation, and deployment. Integrate version control for models, data, and hyperparameters. Set up logging, tracing, and monitoring tools (e.g., MLflow, Prometheus, Grafana) for model performance and failure detection. Security, Compliance & Performance Ensure data privacy (FERPA/GDPR) and enforce security best practices across deployments. Apply secure coding standards and implement RBAC, encryption, and network hardening for cloud/on-prem. Cross-functional Integration Work closely with AI solution engineers, backend developers, and product owners to integrate LLM services into the platform. Support performance benchmarking and A/B testing of AI features across modules Documentation & Internal Enablement Document LLM pipelines, configuration steps, and infrastructure setup in internal playbooks. Create guides and reusable templates for future deployments and models. Required Qualifications Education: Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, AI/ML, Data Engineering, or related field. Technical Skills: Strong Python experience with ML libraries (e.g., PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers). Familiar with LangChain, LlamaIndex, or other RAG frameworks. Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and API gateways (e.g., Kong, NGINX). Working knowledge of vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Qdrant). Familiarity with GPU deployment tools (CUDA, Triton Inference Server, HuggingFace Accelerate). Experience: 3+ years in an AI/MLOps role, including experience in LLM fine-tuning and deployment. Hands-on work with model inference in production environments (both cloud and on-prem). Exposure to SaaS and modular product environments is a plus.
