We are seeking a skilled AI/ML Engineer to design, develop, and deploy advanced artificial intelligence solutions for real-world business applications. This role focuses on building production-ready systems powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), agentic AI, and intelligent automation. You will combine machine learning expertise, research-driven experimentation, and strong software engineering skills to deliver scalable and reliable AI technologies. Working closely with engineering, product, and global research teams, you will transform emerging AI techniques into practical solutions with measurable business impact. This opportunity offers hands-on technical ownership, complex engineering challenges, and the chance to contribute to innovative AI initiatives. You will thrive in a fully remote, globally distributed environment that values technical excellence, collaboration, and continuous innovation.

Design, develop, and deploy production-ready AI systems, including LLMs, RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and machine learning/deep learning solutions.
Select appropriate models, architectures, and technologies while balancing accuracy, latency, cost, scalability, and complexity.
Train, fine-tune, and optimize machine learning models using frameworks such as PyTorch or Keras, including data preparation and model evaluation.
Research, implement, and benchmark emerging AI techniques before integrating them into production environments.
Develop APIs, inference pipelines, backend integrations, and supporting infrastructure for AI-powered applications.
Define and monitor performance metrics related to model quality, latency, cost, and reliability.
Evaluate, debug, and optimize AI systems after deployment, ensuring production readiness and identifying potential regressions before they affect users.
Collaborate with software engineers, backend developers, product teams, and engineering leadership to integrate AI capabilities into existing applications and workflows.
Contribute to technical discussions, architecture decisions, and engineering best practices.
Document system architecture, implementation strategies, technical decisions, and operational processes to support maintainability and scalability.
Review machine learning research papers, reproduce relevant findings, and translate promising research into practical engineering solutions.
Contribute to ongoing AI research, experimentation, and innovation initiatives.
Work effectively with globally distributed engineering and research teams while adapting to evolving technical and business priorities.
