  • Build secure, reliable, and maintainable AI/ML solutions using established engineering best practices.
  • Apply existing frameworks and standards to ensure consistency, scalability, and operational readiness.
  • Evaluate trade-offs involving performance, scalability, cost, and user experience when implementing solutions.

Unstructured Data & Semantic Technologies
  • Develop pipelines to ingest, process, and enrich unstructured and semi-structured data, including documents and text.
  • Work with metadata, embeddings, and semantic representations to improve search, retrieval, and downstream AI use cases.
  • Apply semantic modeling techniques to enhance data discoverability and usability across applications and end users.

Software Engineering Excellence
  • Write high-quality, production-grade code following modern development standards.
  • Participate in automated testing, code reviews, and CI/CD processes supporting AI/ML systems.
  • Translate technical designs into functional solutions and consistently deliver against commitments.

Collaboration & Problem Solving
  • Implement solutions for moderately complex technical challenges while considering business requirements and constraints.
  • Partner with data scientists, platform engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver effective AI/ML capabilities.
  • Contribute to technical documentation, design discussions, and agile development activities.

MLOps & Operational Support
  • Support MLOps/FMOps practices, including model deployment, versioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
  • Identify opportunities to improve reliability, observability, and maintainability of AI/ML systems.
  • Enhance existing pipelines, tools, and platform components through continuous improvement efforts.

Large Language Models & Foundation Models
  • Apply LLMs and prompt engineering techniques to address business use cases within established governance frameworks.
  • Contribute to solutions leveraging managed foundation model platforms.
  • Evaluate and assist in integrating emerging AI capabilities into enterprise platforms.

Governance & Compliance
  • Develop AI/ML solutions that align with organizational governance standards, including documentation, testing, and lineage requirements.
  • Collaborate with governance and compliance teams to ensure adherence to enterprise expectations.
  • Follow established practices related to model validation, versioning, and transparency.

Qualifications

Education
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field required.
  • Advanced degree preferred.

Experience
  • 3+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering or applied machine learning.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering AI/ML solutions in production environments.
  • Hands-on experience working with unstructured data, embeddings, and semantic technologies.
  • Exposure to MLOps/FMOps practices and governed AI environments.
  • Experience with LLMs and prompt engineering is preferred.

Technical Skills
  • Strong programming skills in Python; experience with Java or similar languages is a plus.
  • Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and/or Scikit-learn.
  • Experience deploying AI/ML workloads within cloud environments, preferably AWS.
  • Familiarity with managed foundation model platforms (e.g., AWS Bedrock) is preferred.
  • Experience with data processing technologies such as Spark, SQL, and/or NoSQL databases.
