Job Description: 

We are seeking a Senior AI/ML Engineer specialized in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to join our team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in the entire lifecycle of LLM-based solutions, from prompt engineering and fine-tuning to designing and deploying RAG architectures for enterprise applications that require factual grounding and external data integration.

• Design, develop, and deploy end-to-end solutions based on LLMs and RAG architecture.

• Develop and implement strategies for data retrieval, indexing, and vector database management to optimize RAG performance.

• Conduct prompt engineering and potentially fine-tuning (e.g., LoRA) of LLMs for specific business tasks.

• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define and implement AI solutions focused on intelligent search, summarization, and conversational interfaces.

• Analyze, clean, and pre-process complex, unstructured datasets relevant to RAG systems.

• Evaluate and improve the quality, accuracy, and latency of deployed LLM and RAG solutions.

• Stay updated with the latest advancements in LLMs, RAG frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex), and AI industry trends.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.

• 5+ years of experience in machine learning, AI development, or specialized NLP roles.

• Expert proficiency in Python and relevant ML/AI libraries (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn).

• Proven experience designing and implementing RAG systems in production environments.

• Deep understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs), their capabilities, limitations, and techniques like prompt engineering and grounding.

• Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Chroma, Milvus) and embedding models.

• Experience deploying ML/AI solutions on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in Advanced English.

• Experience with deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow or PyTorch).

• Experience in fine-tuning LLMs using methods like LoRA/QLoRA.

• Familiarity with frameworks for building LLM applications (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex).

• Experience with MLOps practices for LLM lifecycle management.

• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
