AI/ML Lead

Location - Pune (Hybrid) and candidate are okay to go Hyderabad as well when required

Exp - 7+Y

Role Overview

We are looking for an AI/ML Lead with strong hands-on experience in Python-based ML systems and GenAI solutions. This role focuses on designing and deploying production-grade AI systems, especially leveraging LLMs, RAG pipelines, and MLOps practices.

You will work closely with engineering and product teams to build scalable, secure, and effective AI-powered applications.

Key Responsibilities

❖ AI/ML System Design

● Design and implement end-to-end ML pipelines (data ingestion → training → evaluation → deployment).

● LLM-based solutions using advanced prompting strategies, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and agentic workflows.

● Define scalable patterns for ML/ GenAI application development.

❖ Model Development &

- Optimization

● Work on data analysis, quality benchmarking, lineage detection and curation, ingestion into vector stores

● Work on statistical model training, evaluation, hyper-parameter tuning, feature engineering

● Work on fine-tuning of LLMs for specific tasks and prompt optimization (no expectation to build models from scratch at large scale).

● Evaluate and select appropriate models (open weights or closed weights).

● Collaborate with data teams for feature engineering and dataset readiness.

❖ MLOps &

- Deployment

● Implement MLOps best practices:

○ Model versioning

○ Experiment tracking





○ Monitoring & retraining pipelines

○ Prompt versioning

○ Drift detection

○ Token costs

● Handle model deployment in production environments (APIs, batch, streaming).

● Ensure performance, scalability, and reliability of AI systems.

❖ Platform &

- Integration

● Integrate AI solutions with existing microservices and backend systems.

● Work with vector databases, caching, and APIs for GenAI use cases.

● Ensure security and governance in AI deployments.

❖ Collaboration

● Partner with product managers and engineers to translate business problems into AI solutions.

● Mentor engineers on AI/ML and GenAI best practices.

Must Have Skills

❖ Core

● 7+ years of experience in software engineering / ML systems.

● Strong programming skills in Python (mandatory).

● Experience in building production-grade ML systems (not just notebooks).

❖ AI/ML &

- GenAI

● Hands-on experience with:

○ Data Analysis and curation

○ Feature engineering

○ Statistical model training, evaluation & hyper parameter tuning

○ LLMs / GenAI applications

○ RAG pipeline design

○ Prompt engineering & model tuning

● Experience with frameworks like Tensorflow, PyTorch, Sci-kit, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar.

● Understanding of embeddings, vector search, and retrieval systems.

● Exposure to custom model fine-tuning (good to have, not mandatory).

❖ MLOps &

- Deployment
