About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in SaaS and AI-powered intelligence, is looking for a skilled AI/ML Engineer to join their team. This project involves launching a greenfield AI initiative to completely rebuild their enterprise sales and talent intelligence platform from the ground up with an AI-first architecture and no legacy constraints. This is a high-impact role in a 0-to-1 product environment that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

• Build and deploy end-to-end LLM pipelines and AI features into production.
• Design and optimize RAG architectures using vector databases such as Pinecone, FAISS, and Weaviate at scale.
• Develop agentic systems using frameworks like LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or similar, including tool use, multi-agent coordination, and reasoning loops.
• Own prompt engineering, model versioning, evaluation (e.g., RAGAS, DeepEval), and LLMOps instrumentation.
• Integrate AI capabilities into large-scale data pipelines while ensuring observability and production guardrails.
• Collaborate with leadership and an engineering team across global locations.

Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

• 3–5 years of AI/ML engineering experience, including at least 2 years building LLM-powered systems in production.
• BS or MS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• Deep expertise in Python, with experience in PyTorch or Hugging Face Transformers.
• Experience shipping LLM-powered applications (RAG, fine-tuning, agents) to production.
• Familiarity with tools like LangChain/LlamaIndex, vector DBs, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP, and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
• A track record of building in startup or high-ambiguity environments.
• Demonstrated portfolio of shipped AI solutions, including agentic pipelines, RAG systems, or fine-tuned models.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
