AI Engineer + Data Scientist- Lead

UST; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 5,500,000 - 7,500,000; Full time

Job summary

UST is seeking a senior ML/AI engineer to build and ship production-grade GenAI and agentic AI applications, delivering end-to-end enterprise automation from design to deployment.

The role emphasizes hands-on development, RAG workflows, and responsible-AI guardrails, with a focus on Azure OpenAI, AI Services, and scalable deployments. Bengaluru-based, on-site role with a strong performance culture.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of ML/AI engineering with production LLM/agentic delivery.
• Advanced Python and at least one agent framework (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, PydanticAI).
• Strong LLM and prompt-engineering skills (GPT, Claude, LLaMA); hands-on RAG workflows.
• Azure AI stack (Azure OpenAI, AI Search, AI Services) and Databricks ML (MLflow, Delta Lake).
• Vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Chroma) and embedding/retrieval design.
• Containerized deployment (Docker/Kubernetes, AKS/ARO) and REST APIs / WebSockets / event-driven services.
• CI/CD and version control (Jenkins / GitHub Actions, Git) with SDLC and agile practices.
• Portfolio of 3+ production AI deployments with measurable business impact.

Responsibilities

• Build agentic applications using LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or Semantic Kernel.
• Design RAG pipelines — chunking, hybrid search, re-ranking, memory, and tool orchestration.
• Deploy and monitor AI workloads on Azure (AKS/ARO) with CI/CD and observability.
• Implement responsible-AI guardrails — prompt-injection defense and content filtering.
• Define evaluation metrics for task success, hallucination, latency, and cost.
