Build agentic AI solutions Design and implement AI agents that can plan, reason through multi-step tasks, interact with external tools and APIs, retrieve relevant context, and execute actions within controlled business processes. Develop multi-agent and orchestration workflows Create orchestrated AI systems where multiple agents or components collaborate to solve complex tasks, with clear control flow, observability, and fallback handling. Productionize models and AI agents Deploy, monitor, and maintain AI/ML models and agentic systems in production environments with strong reliability, performance, and safety standards. Build data and inference pipelines Develop pipelines for ingestion, preprocessing, vector search, model inference, agent memory/context management. Improve quality and evaluation Define offline and online evaluation frameworks for model quality, latency, safety, task completion, agent reliability, and business outcomes. Optimize performance and cost Improve model selection, prompt efficiency, agent orchestration, latency, throughput, caching, token usage, and serving efficiency. Ensure governance and safety Apply best practices for security, privacy, responsible AI, model risk controls, guardrails, agent permissions, compliance, and human-in-the-loop review where needed. We're looking for: Problem solver - devise and implement advanced NLP algorithms and LLM models to address intricate challenges in Conversation Intelligence analytics. Strong team player – works with internal and external stakeholders to solve problems and actively incorporate input from various sources. Excellent communication skills and collaborative working style. Ability to think “out of the box”, strong critical thinking and analytical skills. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field required. Master’s degree preferred. 5+ years of end-to-end experience training, evaluating, testing, deploying, and monitoring machine learning models in production. Hands-on experience building applications with LLMs, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, structured outputs, and model evaluation. Experience with frameworks or platforms for LLM and agent orchestration, such as LangChain, LangGraph, Strands AI, or equivalent architectures. Experience designing or building AI agents that use planning, memory, tool calling, workflow orchestration, agent-to-agent and external system integration to complete multi-step tasks. Strong experience with Python and backend frameworks such as Flask or Django for building production APIs and AI services. Strong understanding of machine learning fundamentals and practical experience with NLP tasks such as text classification, NER, clustering, topic modeling, semantic search, and conversational AI. Experience with fine-tuning LLMs and transformer-based models such as BERT, RoBERTa, ALBERT, and a solid understanding of tokenizers, embeddings, pre-trained models, and adaptation techniques. Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases, vector databases or embedding stores, and data pipelines for AI applications. Experience with model serving, observability, evaluation, error analysis, prompt/version management, and monitoring of AI systems in production. Familiarity with Linux systems and standard software engineering practices including testing, CI/CD, APIs, and version control. Nice to have: Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP Experience with Docker and Kubernetes Experience with ETL and Data Engineering projects Experience with PostgreSQL, Snowflake, or MongoDB Experience with Kubeflow, or Airflow Benefits
