About the Role We are seeking a highly technical, hands-on Senior AI/ML Tech Lead to drive the design, development, and deployment of cutting-edge Generative AI applications. In this dual-impact role, you wi l act as a primary individual contributor architecting core AI engines while simultaneously leading a team of engineers through task alocation, code reviews, and technical mentorship. The ideal candidate bridges the gap between state-of-the-art AI research (LLMs, Agentic frameworks, Advanced RAG, OCR) and production-grade ful-stack engineering (Python, FastAPI, React).

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Team Management (40%)

● Technical Oversight: Lead a team of AI, backend, and ful-stack engineers; alocate tasks, establish sprint priorities, and ensure timely delivery.

● Code Quality & Reviews: Conduct rigorous code reviews to maintain high engineering standards, security, performance, and scalability across AI and fu l-stack codebases.

● Architecture & Governance: Design end-to-end system architectures for AI solutions, ensuring seamless integration between frontend interfaces, backend APIs, and AI models.

● Mentorship: Guide and upskil team members on modern software practices, LLM engineering, and agentic design patterns. Hands-On Engineering & Development (60%)

● Generative AI & Agentic Systems: Architect, build, and optimize LLM-powered applications, multi-agent workflows (e.g., CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph), and autonomous AI agents.

● RAG & OCR Pipelines: Design and deploy advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures and document processing pipelines utilizing OCR techniques (e.g., LayoutLM, PaddleOCR, Tesseract, Vision LLMs) to extract structured data from unstructured sources.

● Backend Systems: Build robust, asynchronous, high-throughput microservices and RESTful APIs using Python and FastAPI.

● Frontend Integration: Colaborate on or build up-to-date web interfaces using React (e.g., Control Towers, operations dashboards, interactive chat interfaces).





● MLOps & Vector DBs: Oversee model deployment, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, vector database integration (Pinecone, Qdrant, Chroma, PGVector), and cloud infrastructure setup (Azure/AWS).

Required Qualifications & Skills

● Overall Experience: 8 to 10 years of professional software engineering experience.

● AI/ML Domain Experience: 3 to 4+ years of dedicated, hands-on experience building and deploying AI/ML, OCR, and Generative AI solutions in production.

● Core Technical Stack: ○ Generative AI & LLMs: Extensive experience with commercial and open-source LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Llama), Agentic frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, CrewAI), and LLM evaluation frameworks (LangSmith, TruLens, Ragas). ○ RAG & Unstructured Data: Strong knowledge of hybrid search, re-ranking, chunking strategies, vector databases, and document inte ligence workflows. ○ OCR & Vision Techniques: Hands-on experience with OCR engines (Tesseract, PaddleOCR, Azure Document Inteligence) and Multi-Modal/Vision LLMs for document extraction. ○ Backend: Deep expertise in Python and asynchronous frameworks (FastAPI, AsyncIO). ○ Frontend: Working proficiency in React (TypeScript/JavaScript) for building interactive web UI components. ○ Cloud & DevOps: Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure / AWS), Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.

Preferred / Good-to-Have Skills

● Experience with cloud-native data platforms (e.g., Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, Azure SQL).

● Familiarity with cost optimization and latency reduction techniques for LLM inference (caching, semantic routing, model quantization).

● Prior experience in client-facing technical leadership or agile consulting environments.

What We Offer

● Opportunity to lead and build high-impact, state-of-the-art Generative AI systems.

● Colaborative engineering culture with room for technical ownership and direct business impact.

● Flexible work arrangements and competitive compensation package.

Skills:- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI
