  • Design, build, and maintain robust LLM-powered processing workflows
  • Develop cutting-edge testing suites related to bespoke LLM performance metrics
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for ML/LLM: automated build, train, validate, and deploy for chatbots and agent services
  • Utilize Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) to provision scalable cloud environments for training and real-time inference
  • Implement observability: monitoring, drift detection, hallucination management, SLOs, and alerting for model and service health
  • Serve models at scale: containerized, auto-scaling environments (e.g., Kubernetes) with low-latency inference
  • Manage data & model versioning; maintain a central model registry with lineage and rollback capabilities
  • Deliver a live performance dashboard (e.g., intent accuracy, latency, error rates) and establish a retraining strategy
  • Lead and foster creativity around frameworks/models; collaborate closely with product, engineering, and client stakeholders

Qualifications / Experience

  • Relevant primary level degree, ideally MSc or PhD
  • Proven expertise in mathematics and classical ML algorithms, plus deep knowledge of LLMs (prompting, fine-tuning, RAG/tool use, evaluation)

  • Strong engineering skills: Python, APIs, containers, Git; CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation)
  • Experience with scalable serving infrastructure: containerized, auto-scaling environments (e.g., Kubernetes) for low-latency model serving
  • Workflow automation across the machine learning lifecycle: data ingestion, preprocessing, retraining, deployment
  • Development of live performance dashboards displaying key metrics such as intent accuracy, latency, and error rates
  • Management of a centralized model registry with versioning, lineage, and performance metrics
  • Automated retraining workflows and documentation for model updates
  • Experience with Kubernetes, inference optimization, caching, vector stores, and model registries
  • Excellent communication skills, stakeholder management, and ability to produce clear technical documentation and runbooks

Personal Attributes

  • Personal integrity, stakeholder management, project management, familiarity with Agile methodologies, automation skills, data visualization and analysis capabilities.
