About this role

Role Overview

We are looking for an  AI Engineer specializing in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs)  to design, develop, and deploy production-grade AI solutions. The ideal candidate should have strong experience with LLM/VLM architectures, prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, multimodal AI, and model serving.

Key Responsibilities

- Develop and deploy AI applications using  LLMs and VLMs .

- Build  RAG pipelines  involving document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, and generation.

- Work with models such as  GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, Qwen, and multimodal/VLM models .

- Develop multimodal solutions involving  text, images, PDFs, charts, tables, and documents .

- Perform  prompt engineering, supervised fine-tuning, LoRA/QLoRA, and model evaluation .

- Build AI agents and tool-calling workflows where appropriate.

- Optimize inference for  latency, throughput, memory, and cost .

- Develop APIs and production services using  Python, FastAPI, Docker, and cloud platforms .

- Implement evaluation frameworks to measure  accuracy, hallucination, relevance, latency, and safety .

- Collaborate with ML engineers, software engineers, and product teams to take prototypes into production.

Required Skills

- Strong Python programming and software-engineering fundamentals.

- Hands-on experience with  LLMs and/or VLMs .

- Strong understanding of  Transformers, attention mechanisms, tokenization, embeddings, and inference .

- Experience with  PyTorch  and Hugging Face Transformers.

- Experience building  RAG systems  and vector-search solutions.

- Knowledge of  prompt engineering and LLM evaluation .

- Experience with APIs, REST services, Git, Docker, and CI/CD.

- Familiarity with vector databases such as  FAISS, Milvus, Pinecone, Weaviate, or pgvector .

- Understanding of cloud AI infrastructure, preferably AWS/Azure/GCP.

VLM / Computer Vision Skills

- Experience with multimodal models such as  Qwen-VL, LLaVA, Gemini, GPT vision models, or similar .

- Understanding of image preprocessing and document/image understanding.

- Experience with  OCR, document intelligence, image classification, object detection, or visual question answering  is a plus.

- Ability to build pipelines combining  vision + language + retrieval .
