Senior AI Engineer

Job Title: Senior AI EngineerLocation : Chennai , India (Hybrid)

Role Overview:We are seeking a talented and experienced Artificial Intelligence Engineer to design, develop, and train advanced AI and machine learning models. You will be a key member of our data science team, responsible for the research, design, and implementation of cutting-edge models, with a specific focus on private AI and Generative AI solutions. This role is for a hands-on developer who is passionate about building intelligent systems from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities:

Model Research & Development:

Participate in the research, design, and implementation of AI/ML solutions. This includes selecting appropriate algorithms, defining model architectures (e.g., RAG, agents), and exploring new training datasets.

Data and Feature Engineering:

Clean, prepare, and transform large, complex datasets for model training. Define and implement feature engineering and data preprocessing pipelines to optimize model performance.

Model Training & Optimization:

Train and fine-tune machine learning and deep learning models. Analyze model errors and performance metrics and design strategies to overcome them through hyperparameter tuning and model architecture improvements.

Prototype & Experimentation:

Build AI models from scratch and develop proofs-of-concept to demonstrate the potential and limitations of AI for new products.

Collaboration:

Work closely with product managers and business stakeholders to understand business problems and define the scope of AI solutions.

Model Serving:

Develop robust and high-performance APIs (e.g., with FastAPI or Flask) to serve AI models at scale. Implement best practices for LLM serving, including rate limiting and token streaming.

Monitoring & Maintenance:

Required Qualifications:

Experience:
