position overview
the senior ai engineer reports to the head of technology and is responsible for the entire lifecycle of ai solutions, from design to deployment. this includes using multi-agent workflows, advanced knowledge retrieval, and large language models to solve enterprise challenges, thereby improving business efficiency, innovation, and strategic decision-making. the role involves leading projects such as ai copilots, enterprise search solutions, summarization engines, and intelligent automation tools, ensuring they are robust, scalable, and production-ready. a key aspect of the role is mentoring junior ai engineers and maintaining high engineering standards. this is a full-time hybrid position based in mumbai.
key responsibilities
core functional responsibilities
● build and deploy agentic systems and multi-agent workflows using frameworks like langchain, llamaindex, and openai sdk.
● develop rag pipelines using embeddings and vector databases (., faiss, pinecone, weaviate, qdrant).
● fine-tune and optimize llms (gpt-4, claude, llama, mistral, gemini) using techniques like lora/qlora and quantization.
● ensure solutions are secure and compliant, with guardrails, safe api usage, and pii protection.
● implement agent monitoring and evaluation with tools like langsmith or agentops to track and improve performance.
● deliver real-world enterprise use cases such as ai copilots, workflow orchestration, and intelligent search systems.
● mentor junior ai engineers, reviewing their work, sharing best practices, and supporting their growth.
● collaborate with product, data, and devops teams to bring ai solutions to production at scale. demonstrated knowledge of agentic ai frameworks - practical experience in small language model (slm) implementation.
