• Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to team members.

Required Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of industry experience in Machine Learning.
• 3+ years of hands‑on experience building and deploying Generative AI / LLM‑based solutions in production.
• Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including Vertex AI, BigQuery, Dataflow, Cloud Run.
• Advanced proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit‑learn).
• Hands‑on experience with LLM frameworks/tools such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Hugging Face.
• Solid understanding of SQL and unstructured data processing.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes (GKE), and CI/CD pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with multi‑agent systems and orchestration (LangGraph, AutoGen, etc.).
• Deep understanding of vector databases (Vertex AI Vector Search, Pinecone, Chroma).
• Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer certification.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor junior engineers.
