• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for model deployment and infrastructure automation

• Conduct rigorous testing and validation of GenAI systems, ensuring output quality, bias mitigation, and compliance with regulatory requirements

• Integrate AI capabilities into enterprise applications in alignment with FSI security and data governance policies

• Collaborate with data scientists, MLOps engineers, and business teams to productionize models and monitor model performance

• Drive DevOps best practices, leveraging tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, Docker, and Kubernetes

• Support model auditability and documentation as per compliance and internal audit requirements

Requirements

Must-Have:

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or related field

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering or AI/ML development, with at least 2 years in GenAI or LLM applications

• Strong programming experience in Python and familiarity with Java-based ML frameworks (e.g., JavaML, Deeplearning4j)

• Hands-on experience with LLM models (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, LLaMA, Falcon) including prompt engineering and evaluation

• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and DevOps tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, Docker, and Kubernetes

• Experience testing AI systems, including adversarial testing, robustness validation, and hallucination detection

Good-to-Have:

• Experience in FSI environments, familiar with financial compliance, data privacy, and model risk management

• Exposure to vector databases, RAG architecture, and model interpretability techniques

• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with ML and AI services

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply with a recent resume and portfolio of AI projects or research (if applicable)
