  • Lead and manage a small but growing AI engineering team through technical direction, task breakdown, mentoring, code reviews, planning, and quality oversight.
  • Design and implement solutions using AWS AI/ML services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and Amazon SageMaker.
  • Build and integrate AI applications using Python-based web frameworks and relevant AI/ML frameworks.
  • Design safe, observable, and controlled agentic systems that interact with APIs, internal platforms, knowledge bases, and external tools.
  • Define best practices for LLM application development, including prompt engineering, RAG, tool use, function calling, memory, evaluation, guardrails, and hallucination mitigation.
  • Drive improvements in internal engineering practices around AI-assisted development, productivity, automation, and responsible AI tool use.
  • Work with stakeholders to identify high-value AI use cases, assess feasibility, define success metrics, and prioritize delivery.
  • Establish engineering standards for AI systems, including code quality, testing, observability, reliability, security, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Drive MLOps and LLMOps practices, including deployment pipelines, monitoring, evaluation, drift detection, and rollback strategies.
  • Collaborate with DevOps, cloud, security, and platform teams to ensure systems are production-ready, compliant, cost-efficient, and operationally stable.
  • Support rollout and adoption of AI solutions through documentation, training, stakeholder communication, and production support.
  • Evaluate emerging AI technologies, frameworks, models, and vendors and recommend practical adoption choices.
  • Ensure AI solutions follow responsible AI principles, including privacy, access control, auditability, fairness, explainability, and secure handling of sensitive data.

Requirements

  • Minimum 10 years of professional experience in software engineering, data engineering, machine learning engineering, AI engineering, or related technical roles.

  • Experience with advanced LLM frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar.
  • Experience building RAG systems, including document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, retrieval evaluation, reranking, and grounding techniques.
  • Solid understanding of machine learning concepts, including training, feature engineering, evaluation, inference, and performance metrics.
  • Experience with MLOps / LLMOps, including CI/CD, deployment, experiment tracking, version management, monitoring, evaluation pipelines, and rollback strategies.
  • Experience with vector databases and retrieval/search technologies such as Amazon OpenSearch, Pinecone, or pgvector.
  • Experience with model fine-tuning, embedding models, transformer architectures, open-source LLMs, and benchmarking.
  • Experience designing APIs, microservices, event-driven systems, and cloud-native backend architectures.
  • Strong understanding of security and governance requirements for AI systems, including access control, secrets management, data privacy, audit logging, and safe use of sensitive data.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams, including product managers, architects, engineers, data scientists, security teams, and business stakeholders.
  • Ability to move from prototype to production and deliver systems that work reliably at scale.
  • Strong communication skills for explaining complex AI and engineering topics to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong ownership mindset, pragmatic decision-making, and ability to balance innovation with delivery discipline.
