Job Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated AI Engineer to join our dynamic team. As an AI Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and implementing cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions to solve complex business problems. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, build, and deploy AI models and algorithms, and contribute to the overall development of AI-driven applications. The ideal candidate has a strong background in LLMs (like GPT), machine learning, deep learning, and data analysis, along with excellent programming skills and a passion for innovation.

What we need

• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, or a related field.

• Proven experience working as an AI Engineer, machine learning engineer, or similar role.

• Solid understanding of LLMs, machine learning and deep learning techniques, algorithms, and frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, LangChain).

• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and Java, and experience with relevant libraries and tools for data manipulation, analysis, and visualization (e.g., NumPy, pandas, Matplotlib).

• Experience with big data processing and distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Hadoop, Spark) is a plus.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and their AI services.

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate business requirements into technical solutions.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify business needs and potential areas where AI solutions can add value.

• Design and develop proof-of-concepts (PoCs) using machine learning and deep learning techniques to demonstrate the feasibility and potential impact of AI-driven solutions.

• Evaluate and validate the performance of PoCs, considering factors such as accuracy, scalability, and computational efficiency.

• Work closely with stakeholders to understand their feedback and requirements, iterating on PoCs to enhance their value and address specific business challenges.

• Analyze the outcomes of PoCs and identify the most promising concepts with significant business value.

• Translate successful PoCs into minimum viable products (MVPs), working collaboratively with software engineers and data scientists to productize and scale the solutions.

• Optimize and fine-tune AI models and algorithms to meet performance requirements and align with business objectives.

• Conduct thorough testing and validation of MVPs, ensuring their reliability, stability, and usability in real-world scenarios.

• Collaborate with product teams to integrate AI capabilities into existing systems or develop new AI-driven applications.

• Stay informed about industry trends, advancements, and best practices in AI engineering and leverage this knowledge to drive innovation in PoC and MVP development.

• Document the development process, methodologies, and results, providing clear and concise reports and presentations to stakeholders.

• Provide technical guidance and support to junior AI engineers, fostering knowledge sharing and continuous learning within the team.
