Partner closely with stakeholders to understand requirements and shape AI
strategy.
Translate business objectives into technical design and working systems.
Deliver demos, gather feedback, and iterate quickly.
• Engineering Excellence
Build robust ML pipelines (ETL- training - deployment - monitoring).
Apply best practices in MLOps: CI/CD, retraining workflows, monitoring, and
evaluation.
Ensure system reliability, scalability, and maintainability.
• Collaboration & Impact

Retrieval Systems & Vector Databases (FAISS, Weaviate, Pinecone, Milvus).
Knowledge Graphs (Neo4j, RDF/SPARQL, graph ML, ontology design).
• Solid engineering background with proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch,
TensorFlow).
• Experience building and deploying ML systems on cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure) or hybrid
setups.
• Strong fundamentals in data structures, distributed systems, and software design.
• Proficiency with Linux, Git, Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD workflows.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Adaptability and drive to thrive in dynamic, forward-deployed environments.
Bonus
• Experience with agent-based systems and RAG pipelines.
• Contributions to open-source ML tools or research publications.
