SENIOR AI/ML ENGINEER
Job Description
5+ Years
LOCATION
Bangalore / Chennai
Work From Office – 5 Days
About the Role
We're looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer who thrives at the intersection of research and production — someone who doesn't just build models, but ships systems that scale. You'll own the full ML lifecycle: architecting robust data pipelines, training and rigorously evaluating models, and deploying them into high-throughput production environments. This is a role for engineers who want their work to move fast, break assumptions (not systems), and directly shape how AI gets built at scale. If you're energized by turning cutting-edge research into real-world impact, this is your next challenge.
Key Responsibilities
– Design, build, and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines — from raw data ingestion to model serving — with a focus on scalability and reliability.
– Develop, train, and rigorously evaluate ML/DL models using sound experimentation practices (A/B testing, offline/online metrics, statistical validation).
– Own the MLOps lifecycle: implement CI/CD pipelines for model training and deployment, version control for datasets and models, and automated retraining workflows.
– Deploy and monitor models in production using containerized, orchestrated infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes), ensuring low-latency, high-availability inference.
– Collaborate cross-functionally with Data Engineering, Product, and Backend teams to translate business problems into scalable ML solutions.
– Optimize model performance for cost, latency, and accuracy trade-offs across cloud-based training and inference environments.
– Mentor and guide junior engineers and data scientists — conducting code reviews, sharing best practices, and raising the technical bar of the team.
– Stay current with emerging research (LLMs, generative AI, RAG architectures) and proactively identify opportunities to apply them to existing products.
Required Technical Skills
Languages
– Expert-level Python; working knowledge of R or C++ is a plus.
Frameworks
– TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-Learn, Keras.
Data & Cloud
– Strong SQL and NoSQL fundamentals.
– Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure), specifically their ML tooling — SageMaker, Vertex AI, or equivalent.
– Experience with distributed data processing frameworks: Spark, Hadoop.
MLOps & Deployment
– Proficiency with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized deployment.
– Experience building CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows.
– Familiarity with experiment tracking and pipeline orchestration tools like MLflow or Kubeflow.
Advanced / Nice-to-Have
– Practical experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures.
– Experience fine-tuning transformer-based models for domain-specific use cases.
Qualifications & Experience
– Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related quantitative field.
– 5+ years of hands-on experience building, training, and deploying production-grade AI/ML models at scale.
– Demonstrated track record of taking models from prototype to production in a real-world business setting.
What We Offer
– Competitive compensation, benchmarked to top-tier tech talent in the industry.
– Comprehensive health insurance coverage for you and your family.
– Annual learning & development stipend for courses, certifications, and conferences.
– A collaborative, high-ownership culture where engineering excellence is celebrated.
– The opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI systems with direct, visible impact.
