• Design, implement, and deploy GenAI pipelines using tools such as DSPy, MLFlow, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Databricks Mosaic AI.
• Work hands-on with models like OpenAI GPT, LLaMA, Claude, and others—fine-tuning or prompt-tuning as required.
• Ingest and process unstructured and structured data for use in GenAI systems, including document parsing, chunking, vectorization, and retrieval.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to build custom UI and API integrations and GenAI-powered user experiences.

• Proficiency with open-source LLM tooling such as Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, or similar orchestration libraries.
• Strong hands-on experience with Databricks (Unity Catalog, MLFlow, Delta Tables, etc.).
• Familiarity with GenAI-specific challenges including hallucination mitigation, grounding techniques, and evaluation frameworks.
• Experience designing and deploying applications with security, compliance, and scalability in mind.
• Excellent communication skills and a strong ability to engage with technical and business stakeholders.

What We Promise You:

• Meaningful, cutting-edge projects in Generative AI with clients across industries—from Fortune 100 firms to disruptive startups.
• Rapid learning and mentorship opportunities with AI/GenAI thought leaders and practitioners.
• A culture of experimentation, innovation, and continuous improvement.
