About the role

  • Design NLP/LLM/GenAI applications/products by following robust coding practices.
  • Explore SoTA models/techniques so that they can be applied for automotive industry usecases.
  • Conduct ML experiments to train/infer models; if need be, build models that abide by memory & latency restrictions.
  • Deploy REST APIs or a minimalistic UI for NLP applications using Docker and Kubernetes tools.
  • Showcase NLP/LLM/GenAI applications in the best way possible to users through web frameworks (Dash, Plotly, Streamlit, etc.).
  • Converge multibots into super apps using LLMs with multimodalities.
  • Develop agentic workflow using Autogen, Agentbuilder, langgraph.
  • Build modular AI/ML products that could be consumed at scale.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Maths or Science
  • Performed any modern NLP/LLM courses/open competitions is also welcomed.
  • Experience in LLM models like PaLM, GPT4, Mistral (open-source models)
  • Work through the complete lifecycle of Gen AI model development, from training and testing to deployment and performance monitoring.
  • Developing and maintaining AI pipelines with multimodalities like text, image, audio etc.
  • Have implemented in real-world Chat bots or conversational agents at scale handling different data sources.
  • Experience in developing Image generation/translation tools using any of the latent diffusion models like stable diffusion, Instruct pix2pix.
  • Expertise in handling large scale structured and unstructured data.
  • Efficiently handled large-scale generative AI datasets and outputs.
  • High familiarity in the use of DL theory/practices in NLP applications.
  • Comfort level to code in Huggingface, LangChain, Chainlit, Tensorflow and/or Pytorch, Scikit-learn, Numpy and Pandas.
  • Comfort level to use two/more of open source NLP modules like SpaCy, TorchText, fastai.text, farm-haystack, and others.
  • Knowledge in fundamental text data processing (like use of regex, token/word analysis, spelling correction/noise reduction in text, segmenting noisy unfamiliar sentences/phrases at right places, deriving insights from clustering, etc.,)
  • Have implemented in real-world BERT/or other transformer fine-tuned models (Seq classification, NER or QA) from data preparation, model creation and inference till deployment.
  • Familiarity in the use of Docker tools, pipenv/conda/poetry env.
  • Comfort level in following Python project management best practices (use of setup.py, logging, pytests, relative module imports,sphinx docs,etc.)
  • Familiarity in use of Github (clone, fetch, pull/push,raising issues and PR, etc.)
  • Use of GCP services like BigQuery, Cloud function, Cloud run, Cloud Build, VertexAI.
  • Good working knowledge on other open-source packages to benchmark and derive summary.
  • Experience in using GPU/CPU of cloud and on-prem infrastructures.
  • Skillset to leverage cloud platform for Data Engineering, Big Data and ML needs.
  • Use of Dockers (experience in experimental docker features, docker-compose, etc.)
  • Familiarity with orchestration tools such as airflow, Kubeflow.
  • Experience in CI/CD, infrastructure as code tools like terraform etc.
  • Kubernetes or any other containerization tool with experience in Helm, Argoworkflow, etc.
  • Ability to develop APIs with compliance, ethical, secure and safe AI tools.
  • Good UI skills to visualize and build better applications using Gradio, Dash, Streamlit, React, Django, etc.
  • Deeper understanding of javascript, css, angular, html, etc., is a plus.
  • Skillsets to perform distributed computing (specifically parallelism and scalability in Data Processing, Modeling and Inferencing through Spark, Dask, RapidsAI or RapidscuDF).
  • Ability to build python-based APIs (e.g.: use of FastAPIs/ Flask/ Django for APIs).
  • Experience in Elastic Search and Apache Solr is a plus, vector databases.
Benefits
  • Strong communication skills and do excellent teamwork through Git/slack/email/call with multiple team members across geographies.
