Job Description
Role & responsibilities
We are looking for a Senior / Lead GenAI Engineer to design and deploy production-grade AI systems for enterprise use cases.
In this role, you will build LLM-powered applications such as retrieval-augmented systems, agentic workflows, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and real-world impact. Also, you will work on internal product development and support client-focused projects, with exposure to the pharma domain being a plus.
You’ll collaborate with experienced team members and learn to create impactful AI solutions while optimizing and developing GenAI applications.
Your responsibilities will include:
-
Supporting the design, development, and deployment of GenAI solutions, learning to address challenges like hallucinations, bias, and latency, while contributing to performance and reliability improvements.
-
Collaborating with both internal teams and external stakeholders, particularly in the pharma space, to understand business requirements and contribute to the development of tailored AI-powered systems.
-
Assisting in the full lifecycle of AI project delivery, including ideation, model fine-tuning, deployment, and performance monitoring under the guidance of senior team members.
-
Learning and applying fine-tuning techniques (such as LoRA, PEFT) to Large Language Models (LLMs) for specific business needs.
-
Assisting in the development of scalable pipelines for AI model deployment, including handling error management, monitoring, and retraining strategies.
-
Actively participating in a collaborative environment, sharing ideas and working as part of a dynamic team of data scientists and AI engineers.
What do we expect?
Key Responsibilities:
GenAI & Agentic AI Development
-
Design and deploy NLP and GenAI solutions using LLMs, fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, PEFT), and AI-powered automation.
-
Build and optimize LLM-powered chatbots, virtual assistants, and AI agents with high accuracy and contextual awareness.
-
Implement agentic AI systems enabling autonomous, multi-step workflows using orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, etc.).
Architecture & Pipelines
-
Architect scalable NLP pipelines covering text preprocessing, entity recognition (NER), summarization, Q&A, and conversational AI.
-
Lead research and implementation of advanced GenAI techniques: LLMs, Agentic Solutioning, transformers, embeddings, RAG, and multi-modal models.
-
Optimize inference pipelines using quantization, model distillation, and retrieval-enhanced generation for performance and cost efficiency.
Production & MLOps
-
Develop scalable model deployment pipelines with robust error handling, monitoring, and retraining strategies.
-
Ensure LLM observability and guardrails - covering model monitoring, safety, fairness, and regulatory compliance.
-
Lead MLOps practices: CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud deployments on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Collaboration & Delivery
-
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate GenAI solutions into enterprise applications via robust APIs and microservices.
-
Work with internal teams and external stakeholders (including pharma clients) to translate business requirements into AI solutions.
-
Mentor junior engineers, champion AI best practices, and contribute to AI governance frameworks in regulated industries.
Preferred candidate profile
- 5-7.5 years in NLP, Generative AI, or related ML discipline.
-
- 2+ years working with GenAI/LLMs in production systems.
-
- Deep expertise in LLMs, transformer architecture, Agentic Frameworks and fine-tuning techniques.
-
- Strong knowledge of NLP pipelines, including text preprocessing, tokenization, embeddings, and named entity recognition (NER).
-
- Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, (FAISS, Pinecone, ChromaDB), and prompt engineering.
-
- Hands-on experience with Agentic AI systems, LLM observability tools, and AI safety guardrails.
-
- Proficiency in Python and backend development (Django/Flask preferred), with strong API and microservices expertise.
-
- Familiarity with MLOps, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and scalable model deployment strategies.
-
- Prior experience in life sciences, pharma, or other regulated industries is a plus.
