• Advanced AI & Data Retrieval:
• Design, build, and optimize RAG systems to efficiently retrieve and integrate data from diverse sources.
• Develop innovative methodologies for reasoning, decision-making, and interpretability in LLMs for high-stakes environments.
• Fine-tune and optimize LLMs using the latest reasoning techniques to enhance performance and reliability.
• Agentic Frameworks & Software Integration:
• Integrate agentic frameworks such as Langgraph, LangChain, and CrewAI into the platform to enable intelligent, autonomous agents.
• Leverage additional libraries and tools (e.g., Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch, TensorFlow) to build, test, and deploy robust AI models.
• Production-Grade Engineering:
• Build scalable and production-ready ML pipelines and APIs using Python and FastAPI.
• Adhere to industry-standard coding practices including rigorous logging, unit testing (e.g., using pytest), version control, and CI/CD processes.
• Collaborate closely with MLOps teams to streamline deployment, model inference optimization, and lifecycle management.
• Research & Collaboration:
• Stay current with advancements in AI, ML, and NLP, incorporating innovative features into the Atlas platform.
• Mentor team members and foster a collaborative, research-driven environment by contributing to whitepapers, publications, or internal documentation.
• Ensure that all developments adhere to AI ethics, compliance, and unbiased decision-making principles.

Qualifications:

• Education & Experience:
• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 3+ years of experience in building and deploying machine learning or NLP models in production environments.
• Technical Expertise:
• Proven experience with Large Language Models (LLMs), including model fine-tuning and optimization.
• Demonstrated ability in building and optimizing RAG systems for effective data retrieval.
• Strong proficiency in Python and production-grade API development using FastAPI.
• Expertise with agentic frameworks such as Langgraph, LangChain, and CrewAI.
• Familiarity with ML libraries and tools such as Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.
• Hands-on experience in building scalable ML pipelines, integrating knowledge graphs, and semantic search capabilities.
• Understanding of MLOps practices including containerization (e.g., Docker) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid grasp of model inference processes and optimization techniques.
• Research & Innovation:
• Prior research experience (evidenced by publications or active involvement in AI research) is highly valued.

Soft Skills:

• Exceptional analytical and critical thinking abilities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the capability to explain complex technical concepts clearly.
• A collaborative mindset with proven success in multidisciplinary team environments.
• Proactive, self-driven, and passionate about AI research and development in a fast-paced startup culture.
