Whether you're refining large language models or guiding clients through their AI journey, your contributions will shape the future of intelligent systems.
Your future duties and responsibilities:
What You’ll Do
As a GenAI Architect, you’ll lead both the technical design and hands-on development of GenAI solutions, collaborating closely with clients and cross-functional teams to bring ideas to life.
Solution Design & Development
• Architect scalable, secure, and cost-effective GenAI and LLM-based solutions.
• Lead technical delivery from early-stage prototypes to full-scale production systems.
• Apply best practices in system architecture, data privacy, and responsible AI.
Experimentation & Implementation
• Fine-tune large language models using PEFT techniques such as LoRA and QLoRA.
• Build and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines.
• Implement LLMOps workflows and monitor deployments across cloud and hybrid environments.
Collaboration & Leadership
• Partner with data scientists, engineers, and innovation teams to co-create solutions.
• Support prompt engineering and user experience design for GenAI applications.
• Advise clients on GenAI strategy, ethical considerations, and adoption pathways.
Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
• Experience delivering GenAI/LLM solutions in production (e.g., 2–5 projects or 1 major deployment).
• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Familiarity with prompt engineering tools (e.g., Azure Promptflow, Amazon Bedrock).
• Understanding of open-source models (e.g., LLaMa, Mistral) and vector databases.
• 5+ years in AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics.
Nice to Have
• Experience with agentic frameworks (e.g., Crew AI, Autogen).
• Exposure to Microsoft Copilot, plugins, connectors, or Copilot Studio.
