About the Role

• Deploy fine-tuned LLMs optimised for precision, compliance, explainability, and performance in regulated environments.
• Lead hands-on integrations and optimisations with LLM models (e.g.,OpenAI, Anthropic), vector databases (e.g., Pinecone), voice AI APIs (e.g. ElevenLabs), cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS / GCP / Azure), and modern frontend framework (e.g. NextJS, Vue).
• Explore, design, and implement AI agents to automate workflows, enhance user experience, and optimize system interactions.
• Manage technical diligence processes with enterprise clients, investors, and regulatory stakeholders.

Requirements

• Demonstrable track record of architecting, implementing, and scaling AI / ML systems, preferably in early-stage startups or fast-paced tech environments.
