Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines to support ingestion, transformation, and delivery into centralized feature stores, model-training workflows, and real-time inference services.
• Build and optimize workflows for extracting, storing, and retrieving semantic representations of unstructured data to enable advanced search and retrieval patterns.
• Architect and implement lightweight analytics and dashboarding solutions that deliver natural language query experience and AI-backed insights.
• Define and execute processes for managing prompt engineering techniques, orchestration flows, and model fine-tuning routines to power conversational interfaces.
• Oversee vector data stores and develop efficient indexing methodologies to support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows.
• Partner with data stakeholders to gather requirements for language-model initiatives and translate into scalable solutions.
• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for all data processes, workflows and model deployment routines.
• Should be willing to stay informed and learn emerging methodologies in data engineering, MLOps and LLM operations.

• Interest in business operations and comprehensive understanding of how robust BI systems drive corporate profitability by enablingdata-driven decision-making and strategic insights.
• Effective oral and written English communication skills with BI team and user community.

Pluses

• Experience with vector databases such as DataStax AstraDB, and developing LLM-powered applications using popular open source frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex–including prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and orchestration of intelligent workflows.
• Familiarity with evaluating and integrating open-source LLM frameworks–such as Hugging Face Transformers/LLaMA-4 across end-to-end workflows, including fine-tuning and inference optimization.
• Knowledge of MLOps tooling and CI/CD pipelines to manage model versioning and automated deployments.

What we offer:

• Remote work opportunity!
• B2B Employment ($, gross).
