Evaluate, select, and integrate appropriate foundation models for specific use cases, considering factors like performance, cost, and ethical implications.
Develop strategies for model pre-training, fine-tuning, and continuous improvement.
Agentic AI Systems:
Architect and implement intelligent agentic AI systems using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar.
Design complex agentic workflows, including planning, reasoning, tool integration, memory management, and human-in-the-loop interactions.
Lead the integration of agentic AI solutions with existing enterprise systems and define integration standards (e.g., RESTful APIs, microservices).
Prompt Engineering & Orchestration:
Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques to optimize AI model performance and steer outputs towards desired outcomes, minimizing bias and hallucinations.
Oversee orchestration of AI components and services, including LLM APIs, vector databases, and external tools.
Develop and implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) based solutions for enhanced @contextual understanding and factual accuracy.
Scalable Infrastructure & MLOps:
Design and build cloud-native, containerized infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes, ECS, EKS on AWS, Azure, GCP) for deploying GenAI models and agentic systems at scale.
Implement robust MLOps pipelines for the continuous integration, delivery, deployment, monitoring, and management of AI models in production.
Ensure AI solutions comply with regulatory requirements, data privacy, and ethical AI standards.
Innovation & Thought Leadership:
Stay abreast of the latest advancements in AI, machine learning, deep learning, and agentic systems, and apply this knowledge to drive innovation.
Rapidly develop Proofs of Concept (PoCs) and iterate solutions using an agile, experimental approach without compromising architectural integrity or long-term scalability.
Serve as a technical expert and mentor to junior AI engineers and architects, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
Contribute to internal workshops, knowledge sharing, and external forums as a thought leader.
Collaboration & Communication:
Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including product managers, data scientists, software engineers, security, and business stakeholders.
Articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences, both technical and non-technical.
Maintain detailed architectural documentation and operational playbooks.
