We decode risk to unlock opportunity, helping our clients navigate uncertainty with clarity, speed, and confidence.

Job Responsibility:

Design and deploy end to end AI and machine learning solutions including machine learning and graph-based models, natural language processing (NLP) models, and large language model (LLM) based AI agents
Build robust pipelines for data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, validation, and real-time or batch inference
Develop and integrate large language model (LLM) applications using techniques such as fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, and reinforcement learning
Build autonomous agents capable of multi-step reasoning and tool use in production environments
Lead the full model and agent development lifecycle, from problem definition and data exploration through experimentation, implementation, deployment, and monitoring
Ensure solutions are scalable, reliable, and aligned with business goals
Advocate and implement machine learning operations (MLOps) best practices including data monitoring and tracing, error analysis, automated retraining, model and prompt versioning, business metrics monitoring, and incident response
Collaborate across disciplines and provide technical leadership, working with product managers, engineers, and researchers to deliver impactful solutions
Mentor team members, lead design reviews, and promote best practices in AI and machine learning systems development
