Job Summary:

We are seeking a Lead AI Engineer to drive the design, development, and deployment of our conversational AI and generative AI systems, including LLM-powered chatbots, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and agentic AI applications. This is a hands-on technical leadership role you'll architect production-grade AI systems, guide a team of AI/ML engineers, and work closely with Product and Data Engineering to deliver reliable, scalable, and safe AI experiences.

Key Responsibilities:
- Architect and lead development of LLM-based applications, including chatbots, virtual assistants, and copilots.
- Design and implement RAG pipelines including chunking strategies, embedding generation, vector search, re-ranking, and prompt construction.
- Build and maintain agentic workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or custom orchestration layers.
- Design prompt engineering and prompt management systems, including versioning and A/B testing of prompts.
- Implement evaluation frameworks for LLM output quality hallucination detection, relevance scoring,



latency, and safety benchmarks.
- Build robust MLOps/LLMOps pipelines for model deployment, monitoring, versioning, and rollback (CI/CD for AI systems).
- Ensure systems are designed for low latency, scalability, and cost-efficiency in production environments.
- Collaborate with Data Engineering to ensure clean, structured data feeds into embeddings and knowledge bases.
- Implement guardrails, content moderation, and safety mechanisms to mitigate prompt injection, data leakage, and harmful outputs.
- Mentor and provide technical leadership to a team of AI/ML engineers; conduct design and code reviews.
- Stay current with the fast-evolving GenAI/LLM landscape and evaluate recent tools, models, and techniques for adoption.
