• Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipelines, embedding models, vector search systems, and agentic AI workflows.
• Develop automated benchmarking, safety testing, hallucination detection, and Responsible AI evaluation frameworks.
• Collaborate with AI researchers, software engineers, data scientists, and product teams to deliver production-ready enterprise AI applications.
• Lead architecture reviews and establish best practices for LLM development, deployment, and operational excellence.
• Mentor junior AI engineers and contribute to technical leadership across AI engineering initiatives.
• Evaluate emerging NLP research, foundation models, frameworks, and technologies to identify opportunities for continuous innovation.
• Ensure AI solutions meet enterprise requirements for scalability, security, compliance, reliability, and operational performance.

Requirements:

• Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• 10+ years of professional experience in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, NLP, or LLM engineering.
• Expert-level Python programming skills with extensive experience using PyTorch and transformer-based architectures.
• Proven experience fine-tuning and deploying large language models in production environments.
• Strong expertise in distributed training technologies such as FSDP, DeepSpeed ZeRO, pipeline parallelism, tensor parallelism, and model parallelism.
• Hands-on experience with RLHF, DPO, PPO, or other preference optimization techniques.
• Experience using AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform for AI and machine learning workloads.
• Strong understanding of machine learning algorithms, deep learning, NLP, model evaluation, and MLOps practices.
• Excellent analytical, communication, collaboration, and technical leadership skills.
• Experience with multimodal AI, vision-language models, speech models, or foundation models is preferred.
• Knowledge of RAG, vector databases, knowledge graphs, and AI agent frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or LangGraph is preferred.
• Experience with synthetic data generation, Responsible AI, AI governance, fairness, and model safety is preferred.
• Publications or contributions to leading AI and machine learning research, open-source frameworks, patents, or technical publications are preferred.
• Experience deploying AI applications with Kubernetes, Docker, Ray, or enterprise MLOps platforms is preferred.
• U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, EAD Holders, and H-1B transfer candidates are eligible to apply; new H-1B sponsorship is not available.

Benefits:

• Competitive annual salary of $130,000–$180,000, based on experience.
• 100% remote work within the United States.
• Full-time, direct W2 employment.
• Opportunity to work on enterprise-scale AI, NLP, and LLM initiatives.
• Exposure to advanced technologies including distributed training, generative AI, RAG, and agentic AI.
• Opportunities for technical leadership, architecture ownership, and mentoring.
