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:

  • Agent-driven workflows (supervisor/sub-agent architectures, intelligent decision systems)
  • Data pipelines, APIs, and enterprise system integrations for model deployment
  • Multi-step, asynchronous processing and experimentation workflows

Apply strong data science and engineering practices, including:

  • Model validation and evaluation
  • Testing and reproducibility
  • Code quality, performance optimization, and error handling

AI / LLM-Enabled Solution Development

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

  • Prompt engineering and context management to optimize model performance
  • 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:

  • Translate business use cases into technical designs and acceptance criteria
  • 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:

  • Vector databases and similarity search
  • Search and indexing systems
  • Storage solutions for source data and embeddings
  • Caching strategies for performance and scalability

Cloud-Native Delivery (AWS Preferred)

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

  • IAM and security best practices
  • Scalability, resilience, and availability
  • 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:

  • 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
