Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior AI Engineer to spearhead the development and deployment of cutting-edge AI solutions. The ideal candidate will have strong foundations in AI algorithms, hands-on expertise with machine learning and deep learning frameworks, and a forward-thinking approach to leveraging emerging AI technologies like Agentic AI, RAG, Lang Graph, Lang Chain, Graph Databases, and open-source LLMs.

This role involves designing and implementing advanced AI capabilities, building real-time data pipelines, integrating with modern cloud AI platforms, and mentoring junior engineers to deliver scalable, efficient, and impactful AI products aligned with the Ed Tech domain.

Key Responsibilities

AI Model Development: Design, train, and deploy AI models for diverse use cases in Computer Vision, NLP, and Generative AI. Fine-tune and deploy open-source large language models (LLMs) and private models for Ed Tech applications. Implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems combining retrieval with generative models. Leverage Lang Graph and Lang Chain for orchestration, multi-step workflows, and stateful agent design. Data Engineering & Integration: Develop and integrate real-time data pipelines and event-driven architectures using Kafka, Spark, or Py Spark. Build secure, scalable, and cloud-native AI solutions using AWS Bedrock, Sage Maker, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML (AML), Azure AKS, and related services. Implement MLOps/LLMOps pipelines for efficient deployment, monitoring, and scaling of AI models. AI Infrastructure & Tools: Work with modern AI toolkits and frameworks such as Hugging Face Transformers, MLflow, and Databricks. Develop prompt engineering strategies and optimize LLMs for improved accuracy and relevance. Contribute to internal AI frameworks and toolkits for accelerated adoption across teams. Leadership: Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering innovation and skill development. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align AI strategies with business goals. Promote best practices in coding, testing, documentation, and model lifecycle management.

Requirements

Experience: 3+ years in AI/ML system development and deployment in production environments. Proven track record of designing AI systems in cloud environments and working with data-intensive pipelines. Technical Skills: Strong Python proficiency (async programming, multi-step workflows). Expertise in machine learning and deep learning frameworks: Tensor Flow, Py Torch, Scikit-learn. Proficiency with tools like Hugging Face, Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Open AI API, and Bedrock API. Hands-on experience with ETL/ELT workflows, data transformations, and SQL (data modeling, normalization, optimization). Knowledge of RAG architectures, Graph Databases, and MCP (Model Context Protocol). Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud AI platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). Domain Knowledge: Understanding of Ed Tech standards like LTI, x API, QTI, and SCORM. Familiarity with adaptive learning systems and educational content pipelines. Knowledge of workflows in K-12, higher education, and corporate learning environments is a strong plus. Soft Skills: Exceptional leadership and team mentoring abilities. Strong problem-solving skills and excellent communication for technical and non-technical stakeholders. Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or related fields.
