Lead AI Engineer (LLMs & Interactive AI)

About the Role

AI Engineer specializing in LLMs & Interactive AI

Responsibilities

• Design and implement

  lightweight LLM pipelines

  (Phi-2, TinyLLaMA, Mistral-small, etc.) for structured, interactive outputs.
• Build

  branching narrative/interaction flows

  with deterministic continuation and constrained decoding.
• Develop

  moderation and safety layers

  : rule-based filters, toxicity detection (Detoxify), and fallback to external moderation APIs (e.g., GPT/Claude).
• Apply

  content filtering and vocabulary controls

  to enforce safe, compliant outputs.
• Implement

  heuristics-based personalization and progress tracking

  for adaptive experiences.
• Optimize models for

  offline-first inference

  (quantization, ONNX, GGUF/ggml) with cloud fallback when needed.
• Build

  internal tools

  for prompt/template management, content testing, and moderation review.
• Work closely with the Speech AI Engineer to integrate

  text generation ↔ voice pipeline

  seamlessly.
• Define observability metrics (latency, generation success, moderation outcomes).

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience

  in applied AI/NLP, with at least

  3 years focused on LLMs or conversational AI

  .
• Strong background in

  language models

  : fine-tuning, LoRA, adapter methods, prompt engineering.
• Proficiency in

  PyTorch

  ; experience serving models with

  FastAPI/Docker

  .
• Experience with

  edge optimization

  : quantization, batching, caching.
• Knowledge of

  structured AI outputs

  (JSON schemas, branching graphs).
• Hands-on with

  content moderation systems

  and multi-layer safety approaches.
• Understanding of

  privacy and compliance requirements

  for consumer AI apps.

Nice to Have

• Experience with

  dialogue systems

  or conversational assistants.
• Exposure to

  personalization/recommendation systems

  .
• Familiarity with

  educational/narrative applications

  (general, not product-specific).
• Graduated from IITs/NITs/Tier 1 Colleges
