## Description

We are looking for an experienced AI/ML & Forward Deployed Engineer with 8+ years of engineering experience to deliver high-impact AI/ML (and GenAI, where applicable) solutions end-to-end. You will blend applied machine learning, software engineering, and stakeholder problem-solving to deploy production-grade systems that are scalable, secure, observable, and aligned to business KPIs.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy operating at the intersection of data + models + systems + real users, and who can thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments, 1) Use-Case Discovery & Forward Deployment
· Partner with stakeholders (business/product/customers) to identify and shape AI opportunities into well-defined use cases with success metrics, constraints, and rollout plans.
· Run workshops and technical discovery to assess feasibility, data readiness, integration needs, and operational risks.
· Drive rapid prototyping, pilot deployments, and iterative improvements based on real user feedback.
2) Applied ML Engineering (Classic ML + Deep Learning)
· Develop and improve ML solutions (classification, regression, ranking, forecasting, anomaly detection, NLP).
· Establish and maintain robust evaluation practices: offline metrics, validation strategies, experimentation, and A/B testing.
· Perform feature engineering, error analysis, model optimization, and performance tuning for production requirements.
3) GenAI / LLM Engineering (If Applicable)
· Build and productionize RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, including document ingestion, chunking strategy, embeddings, retrieval tuning, reranking, and response grounding.
· Implement guardrails and reliability patterns: prompt templates, tool/function calling, hallucination reduction, citation strategies, and fallback paths.
· Develop evaluation harnesses for GenAI: quality metrics, regression tests, safety tests, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
4) Productionization (MLOps / LLMOps)
· Package models into scalable services and deploy using Docker/Kubernetes and CI/CD.
· Implement model lifecycle management: model registry, versioning, automated retraining triggers, and governance workflows.
· Build monitoring and observability: drift detection, latency/throughput monitoring, error tracking, alerting, and rollback mechanisms.
5) Systems Integration & Platform Collaboration
· Build integration layers (REST/gRPC APIs, event-driven services) to embed AI capabilities into products and enterprise workflows.
· Collaborate with data engineers to design reliable pipelines and ensure data quality, lineage, and governance.
· Ensure secure and compliant design (PII/PHI handling, RBAC, secrets management, encryption, audit trails).
6) Technical Leadership & Enablement
· Provide technical guidance and mentoring to engineers; lead design reviews and establish best practices.
· Document solutions with architecture diagrams, runbooks, and operational playbooks.
· Create reusable accelerators (templates, libraries, patterns) to scale deployments across teams or customers.
Required Qualifications
· Programming & Scripting
o Languages:
§ UI Skills using React JS (Primary) If not the Angular
§ Python (primary for automation, APIs, data pipelines)
· API & Backend Engineering
o REST API development (Spring Boot / FastAPI / Node.js)
o API integration using:
§ OAuth2 / JWT authentication
§ API gateways (Azure API Management, Apigee)
o Data exchange formats: JSON, XML
§ HL7/FHIR (important in healthcare) - Secondary or nice to have
· AI/ML & GenAI Integration
o LLM integration:
§ Azure OpenAI / OpenAI APIs
o Frameworks: LangChain, Semantic Kernel
o RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
o Prompt engineering
o Embeddings + vector DBs (Pinecone, Azure Cognitive Search)
· Cloud & Infrastructure
o Azure (preferred in Optum ecosystem):
§ Azure App Services
§ Azure Functions (serverless)
§ Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
§ Azure Storage / Blob / Cosmos DB
o AWS (secondary):
§ Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3
· Data Engineering & Handling
o Any SQL RDBMS
o NoSQL - MongoDB preferred if not Cosmos DB
