Pythian Careers What you will be doing: Design, develop, and maintain high-performance AI and machine learning pipelines for complex internal and client-driven projects. Deploy, manage, and scale diverse AI models, including pre-trained models (e.g., LLMs, vision models) and custom ML models, into production environments. Collaborate with data scientists and researchers to operationalize models, transforming prototypes into resilient, production-grade AI systems that meet stringent business requirements. Optimize model performance, latency, and cost-efficiency across various cloud and edge deployment targets. Integrate AI/ML solutions with major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and leverage containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) for consistent deployment. Implement comprehensive MLOps practices, including automated testing, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) for models, model versioning, monitoring, and proactive maintenance systems. Work closely with software engineering teams to ensure seamless and ethical integration of AI capabilities into larger applications and user workflows. Stay up to date with the latest advancements in AI/ML research, Generative AI, data engineering, and MLOps deployment strategies. What we need from you: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related quantitative field. Ph.D. is a plus. 5 to 7 years of progressive experience in machine learning engineering, software development with an ML/AI focus, or a related role. Expert programming skills in Python and proficiency in ML/AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn. Demonstrable, hands-on experience in deploying and fine-tuning advanced pre-trained models, such as Large Language Models (LLMs) or similar Generative AI technologies, into low-latency production environments. Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes. Solid understanding of Data Engineering principles, ETL/ELT processes, and version control systems (e.g., Git). Proven experience in orchestrating complex Machine Learning pipelines using open-source tools like Kubeflow, MLflow, or managed cloud services. Experience in building and optimizing scalable, distributed AI/ML systems. Deep familiarity with MLOps best practices, including model monitoring, logging, explainability, and CI/CD pipelines for AI assets. Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams including solution architects, data scientists, and business stakeholders.
