  • Develop, refine, and productionize AI systems using cloud resources such as Azure OpenAI, Azure ML, and Cognitive Services.
  • Contribute to the creation of robust data pipelines for model evolution and production systems.
  • Develop specifications for low latency APIs and services necessary to deploy AI models and incorporate them into applications.
  • Supervise and sustain AI systems in production to guarantee consistent model accuracy and reliability.
  • Actively participate in a team that exercises principled, agile-like development practices.
  • Create and maintain thorough documentation that is consistent with team procedures, corporate policies, and expectations.
  • Ensure peer review on all assigned work, as well as conduct peer reviews over the work of others as requested.
  • Guide junior AI engineers on AI/ML and industry best practices and methodologies.
  • Keep abreast of new tools and concepts through reading documentation or literature and actively practicing skills development.
  • Support and participate in meetings with external stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field, or 2+ years of experience in a related, professional IT/analytics position.
  • Minimum of 3 years of industry experience in developing, deploying, and maintaining AI or ML systems.
  • Up to two years of industry experience may be substituted with an AI centered Master’s/PhD or AI Engineering certifications.
  • At least 4 years of experience in developing deep learning models using TensorFlow, PyTorch, MLX, JAX, or other modern deep learning frameworks.
  • Previous experience with older libraries like Theano or Caffe is also accepted. (May supplement with graduate level education or research experience).
  • Knowledge of and experience in implementing ethical AI practices, with at least 2 years spent working on projects that require explainable AI, fairness, and bias mitigation.
  • Minimum of 3 years of proficiency in utilizing advanced prompt engineering techniques like General Knowledge Prompting and ReAct.
  • Adept at using libraries like LangChain or OpenPrompt for complex projects.
  • Possess the capability to mitigate prompt injection attacks and use tools like Guardrails or PromptInject for securing prompt engineering pipelines.
  • Minimum of 3 years of experience in successfully productionizing AI models, including constructing scalable data pipelines and establishing robust monitoring systems.
  • 3 or more years working within Agile-like teams and environments.
  • Experience developing deep learning architectures such as CNNs, transformers, GANs, LSTMs, GNNs, Autoencoders, Diffusion Models, and Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs).
  • Proficiency in debugging AI systems and enhancing performance through hyperparameter tuning and similar techniques.
  • Proven experience in productionizing models by constructing scalable data pipelines, low-latency services, and robust monitoring.
  • Familiarity with software design patterns, microservices, distributed computing, container orchestration, and other relevant architectures.
  • Proficient software engineering skills as well as skills building secure, stable software systems at scale.
  • Proficiency in developing and optimizing ML solutions using languages like Python, and libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and scikit-learn.
  • Familiarity working with traditional ML lifecycles.
  • Familiarity with building minimal interfaces to interact with AI products, e.g., Streamlit or Shiny.
  • Familiarity with ethical AI practices including explainable AI, fairness, and mitigation of bias/hallucinations.
