Job description

We are engaging a hands-on Data Scientist / AI Architect to design and deliver agent-based, AI-enabled workflows integrated with enterprise systems. The role requires close collaboration with internal teams and business stakeholders to translate use cases into scalable, production-grade solutions.

Core Responsibilities

Data Science & Agent-Oriented System Design

Design, develop, and deploy Python-based data science solutions supporting:

o Agent-driven workflows (supervisor/sub-agent architectures, intelligent decision systems)

o Data pipelines, APIs, and enterprise system integrations for model deployment

o Multi-step, asynchronous processing and experimentation workflows

Apply strong data science and engineering practices, including:

o Model validation and evaluation

o Testing and reproducibility

o Code quality, performance optimization, and error handling

AI / LLM-Enabled Solution Development

Design and implement end-to-end LLM-powered solutions, including:

o Prompt engineering and context management to optimize model performance

o Structured output generation, validation, and post-processing for reliable outcomes

Integrate LLMs into analytical pipelines and decision-making workflows

Stakeholder Collaboration

Work closely with business stakeholders to:

o Translate business use cases into technical designs and acceptance criteria

o Communicate trade-offs across quality, cost, risk, and delivery timelines

Good to Have

Data Engineering for Retrieval-Based Systems

Design and manage retrieval pipelines to support grounding and context enrichment, including:

o Vector databases and similarity search

o Search and indexing systems

o Storage solutions for source data and embeddings

o Caching strategies for performance and scalability

Cloud-Native Delivery (AWS Preferred)

Deploy and manage AI/ML solutions on cloud platforms, with focus on:

o IAM and security best practices

o Scalability, resilience, and availability

o CI/CD pipelines and environment management

Integration & UX Enablement

Integrate AI solutions with enterprise tools via secure APIs and gateways

Collaborate with front-end teams (e.g., React) to enable seamless user experiences

Observability & Operations

Implement monitoring across workflows, including:

o Logging, metrics, and tracing for agent pipelines and model calls

Requirements

Hands-on experience in AI/LLM solution design and implementation

Strong understanding of AI/ML/LLM libraries used in projects

Experience with LLM fine-tuning (critical requirement)

Experience in RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures
