• Engineer robust prompting strategies, memory mechanisms, and tool-augmented reasoning.

RAG and Knowledge Systems

• Design and implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures.
• Build embedding pipelines using vector databases such as FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Azure AI Search, and Chroma.
• Optimize document ingestion, chunking strategies, metadata management, and reranking.
• Ensure accuracy, relevance, and performance of AI-generated responses.

Machine Learning Model Integration

• Apply practical ML concepts including classification, clustering, ranking, and similarity search where applicable.
• Integrate traditional ML models with LLM-based systems for hybrid AI solutions.
• Evaluate, fine-tune, and test models using appropriate performance metrics.

Data Engineering and Pipelines

• Develop and maintain data pipelines for structured and unstructured data using Python and SQL.
• Work with large datasets, APIs, and streaming and batch processing frameworks.
• Ensure data quality, lineage, observability, and governance within AI workflows.

MLOps CICD and Productionization

• Build CICD pipelines for AI and ML workloads including model versioning and automated testing.
• Deploy AI services in containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Implement monitoring for model performance, drift, latency, and cost.
• Ensure security, access control, and compliance for AI systems.

Cloud Platform Engineering

• Design and deploy AI solutions on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Leverage managed AIML services, serverless components, and scalable infrastructure.
• Optimize cost, performance, and reliability of AI workloads.

Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement

• Partner with product, platform, and business teams to translate requirements into AI solutions.
• Document architectures, design decisions, and operational runbooks.
• Provide guidance on GenAI best practices, risks, and responsible AI usage.

Required Skills and Experience
