Role overview
Role : Gen AI Architect
Location: remote
We are seeking an experienced **Generative AI Architect** to lead the design, development, and deployment of cutting-edge generative AI systems. The ideal candidate will combine deep technical knowledge of AI/ML (particularly large language models and diffusion models) with strong architecture and leadership skills. You will play a critical role in shaping our AI strategy and enabling innovative products powered by generative technologies.
**Key Responsibilities:**
* **Architect and design** end-to-end generative AI solutions (text, image, audio, or multimodal) that align with business objectives.
* Evaluate and select appropriate **foundation models (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Stable Diffusion)** and fine-tuning strategies.
* Lead the development of **custom LLM applications**, including prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RLHF, and model compression.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams (engineering, product, design, data science) to integrate AI into products and platforms.
* Ensure responsible and ethical AI practices are embedded in system design (e.g., fairness, privacy, explainability).
* Guide the implementation of AI **infrastructure** (data pipelines, vector databases, model serving, APIs).
* Stay up-to-date on the latest AI research and tools, and make recommendations for adoption.
* Conduct **proofs-of-concept**, prototypes, and performance benchmarking.
* Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices and internal knowledge sharing.
**Required Qualifications:**
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning
* 7+ years of experience in AI/ML, with 3+ years in generative AI (LLMs, diffusion models, etc.).
* Proven experience designing and deploying large-scale AI systems.
* Deep understanding of **transformer architectures**, **tokenization**, and **pretraining/fine-tuning paradigms**.
* Hands-on experience with AI/ML frameworks such as **PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, etc.**
* Strong knowledge of **MLOps, cloud platforms** (AWS, GCP, Azure), and scalable architectures (e.g., microservices, serverless).
* Experience with **vector databases** (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) and **retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)** systems.
* Familiarity with responsible AI frameworks and privacy-preserving techniques.
**Preferred Qualifications:**
* Experience with **open-source LLMs** and model distillation/quantization techniques.
* Exposure to **multimodal AI models** (e.g., CLIP, DALL·E, Imagen).
* Contributions to AI/ML research (e.g., published papers, open-source projects).
* Experience building **GenAI copilots, chatbots**, or productivity tools.
**Soft Skills:**
* Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
* Ability to translate complex AI concepts into business value.
* Entrepreneurial mindset and passion for innovation.
