Job Purpose

Duties And Responsibilities

Generative AI & Model Optimization

•  Fine-tune LLMs/SLMs with proprietary NBFC data.
•  Perform distillation, quantization of LLMs for edge deployment.
•  Evaluate and run LLM/SLM models on local/edge server machines.
  

Conversational Intelligence

•  Develop and fine-tune BOTs capable of negotiation using contextual understanding, emotion detection, and dynamic loan pitch logic.
•  Build intelligent Dialogue Management frameworks that adapt in real-time.
  

Speech Technology R&D

•  Evaluate Speech-to-Speech (S2S) models for natural voice responses.
•  Assess STT models for indic dialects & accuracy; explore emotion-aware TTS engines.
•  Experiment with speaker diarization for multi-speaker environments.
  

Voice Biometrics & Security

•  Collect and analyze voice samples for biometric model training.
•  Evaluate biometric algorithms for fraud prevention and authentication.
•  Implement anti-spoofing techniques to prevent deepfakes/recorded attacks.
•  Ensure data privacy compliance in voice data usage.
  

Self-Learning Frameworks

•  Build self-learning systems that adapt without full retraining (e.g., learn new rejection patterns from calls).
•  Implement lightweight local models to enable real-time learning on the edge.
  

Key Decisions / Dimensions

•  Choosing the right STT, TTS, and S2S models for various Indic languages and dialects.
•  Deciding between open-source vs. commercial APIs based on latency, cost, and control.
• LLM/SLM Strategy
•  Selecting appropriate LLM/SLM architectures for dialogue management and negotiation logic.
•  Deciding what to fine-tune, distill, or quantize, and what to leave generic.
• Edge vs. Cloud Architecture
•  Making trade-offs between on-device processing and cloud-based orchestration.
•  Defining what runs locally for speed/privacy and what needs backend support.
• Emotion & Dialogue Logic Integration
•  Mapping emotional cues to appropriate TTS responses and negotiation tone.
•  Designing fallback logic for unrecognized or hostile user responses.
• Voice Biometrics Algorithm Evaluation
•  Choosing and testing biometric algorithms for authentication and anti-spoofing.
•  Deciding thresholds for matching, rejection, and fraud escalation
