Job description

  • Develop ML models and supporting services for classification, clustering, similarity search, and prediction.
  • Implement RAG pipelines: document ingestion, embedding generation, vector indexing, and retrieval tuning.
  • Build APIs and microservices to expose model capabilities to enterprise systems.
  • Integrate ML components into existing DevSecOps pipelines (Azure DevOps, CI/CD workflows).
  • Implement duplicate detection, ticket routing, SLA prediction, and root-cause assist features.
  • Optimize model performance for latency, throughput, and accuracy.
  • Conduct model evaluation, error analysis, and iterative tuning.
  • Work with Data Engineer to align data pipelines with model input requirements.
  • Ensure outputs are explainable, auditable, and compliant with governance controls., * Prompt construction and chaining
  • Output validation and structured responses
  • Integration of LLMs into workflows (not just experimentation)

API and Service Development

  • RESTful API design and implementation
  • Serving ML models in production (FastAPI, Flask, etc.)
  • Stateless service design

CI/CD for ML Systems

  • Model deployment pipelines
  • Automated testing and validation before release
  • Version control for code + models

Cloud Deployment

  • Running ML workloads in AWS or Azure
  • Containerization (Docker)
  • Basic orchestration patterns (serverless or container-based)

Search and Similarity Systems

  • Embeddings + cosine similarity / ANN search
  • Duplicate detection patterns
  • Ranking and scoring logic

Performance Optimization

  • Latency reduction for inference
  • Efficient batching / caching strategies
  • Memory and compute-tuning

Requirements

  • Minimum 10 years of experience in AI/ML engineering, software development, or data science.
  • Master’s degree required in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Must have an Active Public Trust clearance or higher.
  • Strong experience with Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
  • Experience with embeddings, vector similarity search, and retrieval systems.
  • Experience building and deploying APIs or microservices for ML inference.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure environments.
  • Experience integrating into CI/CD pipelines and production systems.
