You’ll:

• Take full technical ownership of AI systems – from prototype to production reliability.
• Make architectural calls that balance speed, stability, and long-term maintainability.
• Convert loosely defined business questions into clear AI solutions with measurable impact.
• Build everything from classical ML models to LLM-powered services (RAG, fine-tuning, adapters, you name it).
• Deeply integrate your models into apps, CRM platforms, workflows, digital journeys, and internal tools.
• Lead experiments, run A/B tests, validate hypotheses, and guide stakeholders through trade‑offs.
• Set up monitoring, drift checks, retraining flows, observability, and proper MLOps hygiene.
• Work hands-on with data, modelling, pipelines, APIs, orchestration – the full engineering spectrum.
• Mentor juniors, shape engineering standards, and help create reusable blueprints for future AI builds.

• Has roughly 8+ years working in ML, data science, or software engineering with real AI ownership.

• Has led at least one meaningful end‑to‑end AI initiative (technical direction + stakeholder alignment).
• Is comfortable with Python + SQL and enjoys writing clean, production-level code.
• Knows ML frameworks (scikit‑learn, XGBoost, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LightGBM etc.).
• Has experience with LLMs and generative AI (APIs, RAG, evaluation, tuning).
• Understands data engineering basics and can work with pipelines, warehouses, and orchestration tools.
• Is familiar with the cloud (Azure, AWS, or GCP all welcome).
• Navigates ambiguity well – shaping scope instead of waiting for it.
• Communicates clearly, especially with non‑technical stakeholders.
• Loves mentoring, pair programming, reviewing code, and raising team standards.
• Understands privacy, safety, and the need for responsible AI.
• Values outcomes over grand ideas.
