About the role

Responsibilities:

  • Analyze product requirements and come up with data science solutions.
  • Identify and develop data engineering scripts (example: parsers) necessary to build training datasets.
  • Build deep learning NLP model(s), customize as needed to meet the requirements.
  • Write production-quality Python code for model development as well as for inference.
  • Ability to think out-of-the-box and implement custom loss functions and quantitative methods to increase the accuracy of AI solutions.
  • Build and ship AI agent-driven systems that reason, plan, and act across real-world, messy data.
  • Design agentic workflows using LLMs, tools, retrieval, and memory to solve high-impact product problems.
  • Work hands-on with unstructured and multimodal data (text, PDFs, drawings, images, logs).
  • Develop multimodal models (text + vision) for document understanding and contextual reasoning.
  • Own AI solutions end-to-end: data pipelines, modeling, deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
  • Write production-grade Python code and rapidly prototype, test, and ship in a cloud-native environment.
  • Take complete ownership of the solution in all phases: analysis, proof of concept, data engineering, model development, model tuning, and model implementation.


Requirements:

  • 7+ years of experience building production ML / AI systems, with recent experience in LLMs or AI agents in data science.
  • Strong Python engineer with a bias toward clean, scalable, and maintainable code.
  • Proven experience working with unstructured data and images at scale.
  • Hands-on experience with agent patterns (tool use, function calling, planning, memory).
  • Good proficiency and hands-on experience with LLMs and advanced AI models
  • Experience deploying AI systems on AWS, GCP, or Azure in microservices architectures.
  • Thrives in fast-moving startup environments with high ownership and ambiguity.
  • Strong Python skills with a focus on data engineering and data analysis.
  • Proficiency with data mining algorithms such as Scikit-Learn, NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas.
  • Strong understanding of machine learning models, model training, and hyperparameter tuning.
  • Working knowledge of deep learning models, loss functions, and accuracy measures.
  • Hands-on proficiency with PyTorch / TensorFlow / Keras.
  • Experience in NLP solutions preferred.
  • Experience in parsing PDF and text documents preferred.
  • Experience with statistical regression, neural nets, deep learning, decision trees, SVM, and ensembles is expected.
  • Multi-cloud experience and proficiency with providers AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Comfortable working in a microservices environment
  • Self-motivated, enthusiastic to build next-generation AI systems.
