- End‑to‑end ML lifecycle: model training, evaluation, fine‑tuning, and labeling/tagging workflows
- Generative AI systems design, including LLM-based application development
- Prompt engineering optimization for large language models
- Document AI pipelines: OCR/extraction, parsing, normalization, and text chunking for structured & unstructured data
- Embedding generation pipelines for semantic search and retrieval
- Vector similarity search implementation using vector databases
- ML model integration with Vector DBs and MongoDB
- Production‑grade ML engineering: scalable, maintainable, and deployment‑ready code
Python, Large Language Models (LLMs) (via LLM‑based applications), Vector Databases, MongoDB
Roles & Responsibilities We are seeking a highly skilled Data Science Engineer to design and develop scalable ML and Generative AI solutions. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Python, hands-on experience in model training, document processing pipelines, and strong knowledge of vector databases and modern ML/GenAI frameworks.
