- Implement embeddings and vector search; design prompts, guards, and evaluation strategies for reliability and safety.
- MLOps & Delivery
- Productionize models with CI/CD, experiment tracking, model registry, and serving (e.g., MLflow), containerization, and scalable inference.
- Establish monitoring (drift/latency/quality), alerting, and rollback strategies; document and hand over runbooks.
- Client Advisory & Enablement
- Act as a trusted advisor: present options/trade-offs, guide adoption (governance, security, cost), and lead stakeholder workshops.
- Coach client teams in best practices for MLOps, GenAI safety, and analytics enablement.
- Team Leadership
- Lead small delivery squads; mentor engineers; contribute to internal accelerators, templates, and reference architectures.
Must-haves
- Masters Degree in Data Science, Engineering, Computer Science or Statistics.
- 3-4 years delivering production ML/AI solutions.

Job requirements- 2–5+ years of experience in software development with a strong Python background
- Exposure to or curiosity about generative AI technologies — image generation, LLMs, computer vision, and voice cloning
- Experience working on experimental or R&D-style projects, preferably in small, agile teams
- Familiarity with tools, frameworks, or APIs in the GenAI ecosystem (e.g. Diffusion Models, Transformers, Whisper, VITS, etc.)
- Python expert — confident writing clean, experimental, and reusable code
- Comfortable working with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Hugging Face, OpenAI, Replicate, ComfyUI, etc.)
- Quick to prototype and iterate — whether building a new tool, testing a model, or running a benchmark
- Strong debugging and research skills — can sift through GitHub issues, Discord chats, arXiv papers, and Reddit threads to find answers
- Comfortable running, modifying, and chaining models (image, text, audio)
- Bonus: Experience with prompt engineering , fine-tuning , or deploying GenAI models at scale
- Inherently curious — obsessed with how things work, how they break, and how to push them further
- Self-motivated and comfortable diving deep into weird corners of the internet for answers
- Passionate about open-source GenAI models , experimental tools, and cutting-edge research
- Willing to test and break boundaries — including uncensored models and controversial areas of GenAI
- Strong communicator — shares findings clearly with the team, documents well, and raises good questions
- Not afraid to get stuck, get weird, and figure it out
- Real-World Impact — Helped prototype features across image generation, LLM interaction, computer vision, and voice cloning
- Contributed code and insights that directly shaped product direction and AI integration
- Explored edge-case use of GenAI tools and models, helping the team find what’s next before it’s mainstream
- Acted as a radar inside GenAI communities — surfacing trends, breakthroughs, and tooling before others spot them
- Pushed forward initiatives with a hacker's mentality and a researcher's discipline
