Role : Senior Python / AI Engineer: Hybrid (Mumbai)

Experience : 6+years

Work Location : Mumbai : Hybrid (One week in a month)

Engagement : Contract To Hire (Initially 5 months to start) :

Start date: Immediate

Timing: 2pm to 11 pm IST

Interview process: 2 Rounds(Aptitude round + Technical round )

Job Description :

Overall Job Mission: To design, develop, implement, and optimize AI-driven solutions by effectively leveraging and integrating existing Large Language Models and related technologies.

Outcomes (What does the person need to achieve?)

• LLM Integration & Application Development: Successfully integrate existing LLMs (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Mistral, Claude, Gemini) into Python-based applications to deliver AI-powered features. (e.g., Develop and deploy 3 applications with LLM-driven functionality within the first 6 months with a user satisfaction rating of 4.5/5).
• Prompt Engineering & Optimization: Design, implement, and rigorously test prompts to maximize the effectiveness and accuracy of existing LLMs for specific application requirements. (e.g., Improve the accuracy of LLM-driven features by 20% through prompt engineering best practices).
• AI Solution Optimization: Optimize the performance, efficiency, and scalability of AI solutions built with LLMs, focusing on factors like response time, cost-effectiveness, and resource utilization. (e.g., Reduce the average response time of LLM-based applications by 15% while maintaining accuracy).
• Data Handling & Retrieval: Implement effective data processing, including preprocessing and cleaning of text datasets, and utilize vector databases to enable efficient information retrieval for LLM applications. (e.g., Achieve a 90% success rate in retrieving relevant information from vector databases for LLM queries).
• Deployment & Scalability: Deploy and scale LLM-powered applications on cloud platforms to support a growing user base and ensure high availability. (e.g., Successfully scale LLM applications to handle a 50% increase in user traffic without performance degradation).
  
  
  

Competencies (How does the person need to behave?)

• LLM Application Expertise: Possesses strong skills in integrating and applying existing LLMs through APIs and libraries, with a focus on prompt engineering and application development.
• Python Development & AI Frameworks: Demonstrates proficiency in Python programming and AI/ML frameworks (Hugging Face, PyTorch, TensorFlow) for building and deploying LLM-based solutions.
• Problem Solving & Adaptability: Exhibits the ability to solve challenges related to LLM integration, optimize performance, and adapt to the evolving landscape of LLM technologies.
• Collaboration & Communication: Effectively communicates technical solutions and collaborates with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful AI applications.
• Results Orientation: Focuses on delivering functional, efficient, and scalable AI solutions that meet business needs and user expectations.
