Deploy models in production using Docker and Kubernetes, ensuring scalability, high availability, and fault tolerance.

Utilize Azure AI services and infrastructure for development, training, inferencing, and model lifecycle management.

Support and collaborate on the integration of large language models (LLMs), embeddings, vector databases, and RAG techniques where applicable.

Monitor deployed models for drift, performance degradation, and data quality issues, and implement retraining workflows as needed.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams including software engineers, product managers, business analysts, and architects to define and deliver AI-driven solutions.

Communicate complex ML concepts, model outputs, and technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Stay current with the latest research, trends, and advancements in AI/ML and evaluate new tools and frameworks for potential adoption.

Maintain comprehensive documentation of data pipelines, model architectures, training configurations, deployment steps, and experiment results.

Drive innovation through experimentation, rapid prototyping, and the development of future-ready AI components and best practices.

Write modular, maintainable, and production-ready code in Python with proper documentation and version control.

Contribute to building reusable components and ML accelerators.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field over 7+ years.
