Job description

• As an AI Software Engineer – 1, you will be a key contributor to the design, development, and deployment of AI-driven solutions across both Computer Vision and Large Language Model (LLM) domains. You willbe responsible forbuilding deep learning models, writing scalable and maintainable code, and integrating these models into production-grade systems. The role demandsa strong foundationin AI/ML theory,proficiencyin practical deep learning, and a hands‑on approach to software development.
• You will work closely with cross‑functional teams to translate business requirements into working AI solutions—ranging from real‑time vision systems to NLP pipelines and user‑facing interfaces that interact with AI services.
• We are looking for candidates who can thrive in a technically diverse environment and are enthusiastic about pushing the boundaries of applied AI.

Responsibilities

Software Engineering & System Integration

• Write clean, modular, production‑ready code for inference pipelines and AI systems.
• Develop and maintain interfaces and user‑facing components for AI tools and services.
• Collaborate with backend and platform teams to integrate models into scalable systems.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, testing strategies, and performance monitoring.
• Design, train, and evaluate deep learning models for CV and NLP use cases.
• Develop end‑to‑end solutions for: Computer Vision tasks (object detection, segmentation, OCR, activity recognition).
• Language‑related tasks (document parsing, question answering, summarization, RAG pipelines, Building LLM Agents to solve tasks).
• Optimize model performance using benchmarking and validation against real‑world datasets.

Data Management & Curation

• Plan, collect, and preprocess data across modalities (images, video, text).
• Coordinate with internal teams and vendors for annotation and validation tasks.
• Define data versioning, quality control, and reproducibility standards.
• Keep up with the latest in deep learning, computer vision, and LLM advancements.
• Prototype and evaluate new architectures (e.g., ViTs, SAM, LVMs, LLMs like LLaMA, GPT, Mistral).
• Publish internal documentation and contribute to tech blogs or open‑source codebases where appropriate.

Requirements

• Strong programming skills in Python with hands‑on experience using deep learning frameworks (PyTorch/TensorFlow), LLM’s frameworks (Autogen/SmolAgents/Langchain) & VLM’s .
• 1+ years of experience building AI models in at least one domain (CV or NLP).
• Proficiency in model lifecycle: training, validation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Experience working with Git, Docker, and Linux‑based environments.
• Good understanding of ML fundamentals: CNNs, Transformers, LLMs, optimization techniques.
• Ability to build simple UI components that interface with backend AI services.
