The successful candidate will contribute to AI strategy, lead end-to-end model development, and work closely with cross-functional teams across data engineering, software engineering, and business functions.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and evaluate data-driven algorithms across classification, detection, segmentation, regression, and anomaly detection, applying both classical and deep learning approaches. Rapidly prototype solutions and evaluate their performance against business objectives

Prototype and assess LLM-based and multimodal systems for document understanding, knowledge extraction, information retrieval, and workflow automation, including fine-tuning foundation models, building RAG pipelines, and extending models for domain-specific applications

Design and implement agentic AI systems including task-oriented agents, workflow orchestrators, tool-using agents, and autonomous reasoning frameworks. Translate complex business workflows into reliable, observable, and maintainable AI-driven pipelines

Own the full machine learning lifecycle from data collection, preparation, and cleaning through model training, evaluation, deployment, and ongoing production maintenance. Champion best practices in MLOps, versioning, and reproducibility

Contribute to solution architecture and collaborate closely with data engineers, software engineers, and domain experts to integrate AI-enabled products into existing systems

Establish robust monitoring frameworks to evaluate AI solution performance post-deployment. Proactively identify data quality issues, model drift, and performance degradation, and drive continuous improvement initiatives

Stay current with advances in AI research, mentor junior data scientists, contribute to internal knowledge sharing, and support the broader AI community of practice within the organization

Requirements

5 to 10 years of hands-on experience in classification, detection, and segmentation using both classical and deep learning approaches, applied to real-world, production-grade problems

Proven track record of developing, deploying, and scaling end-to-end ML pipelines in industrial or enterprise contexts
