AI Engineer / Data Scientist – NLP & Generative AI

• Experience: 6–7 years
• Location: India

Role Summary

Build and productionize NLP and generative AI capabilities — from classical NLP through LLM-based agentic workflows — for real-time, high-scale enterprise applications, with a focus on prompt engineering, RAG, and conversational AI experiences.

• Key Responsibilities
• Design, fine-tune, and optimize prompts for production LLM features (summarization, classification, sentiment, Q&A, translation, knowledge-gap analysis)
• Build agentic workflows (e.g., CrewAI, LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent) to orchestrate RAG pipelines and multi-step evaluation/validation tasks
• Apply classical NLP techniques (clustering, sentiment analysis, NER, topic modeling, text classification) using transformer models alongside LLMs where appropriate
• Develop and deploy real-time inference APIs to serve AI features to production applications at scale
• Integrate speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities for conversational/simulation use cases
• Build monitoring/analytics pipelines for productivity and quality metrics derived from AI outputs
• Iterate on model performance through hyperparameter tuning, feedback loops, and evaluation against production data
• Work across open-source and hosted LLMs, selecting the right model/deployment for cost, latency, and accuracy needs
• Partner with data engineering on ingestion/synchronization pipelines across relational and vector data stores
• Present KPI metrics, model performance, and insights to business stakeholders via dashboards

Required Skills & Experience

• 6+ years in NLP / data science / AI engineering with production deployment experience
• Strong Python experience serving ML/AI models via production APIs
• NLP fundamentals: text classification, NER, clustering, topic modeling, summarization, sentiment analysis
• Transformer model experience: BERT/RoBERTa/T5/BART or equivalent
• LLM and agentic tooling: prompt engineering, RAG, agentic frameworks (e.g., CrewAI, LangChain, LangGraph), and LLM APIs (e.g., GPT, Claude, or open-source models)
• Classical ML: supervised/unsupervised algorithms and evaluation methodology
• Hands-on depth with Azure AI and compute services — Azure AI Foundry, Azure Function Apps, Azure Logic Apps — or equivalent AWS/GCP AI and serverless stacks
• SQL databases plus exposure to a vector store
• Preferred
• Knowledge graph / graph-based retrieval techniques for RAG (e.g., Neo4j or equivalent)
• Production deployment experience across multiple major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and GCP) — spanning AI/ML services, managed databases, and serverless compute
• Speech-to-text/text-to-speech integration experience for conversational AI use cases
• Experience with no-code/low-code platforms (e.g., Microsoft Power Platform, Copilot Studio, or equivalent) for rapid agent/bot prototyping
• Dashboarding (Power BI/Tableau)
• Exposure to healthcare or other regulated-data domains

• Education
• Bachelor's/master's in data science, Computer Science, Statistics, or related field

15 years full time education
