• Develop and implement Generative AI use cases including content generation, summarization, conversational AI, recommendation systems, and workflow automation.
• Work with structured and unstructured datasets, performing data cleaning, feature engineering, model training, validation, and optimization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify business opportunities where AI/ML and GenAI can create operational efficiency or product innovation.
• Develop scalable machine learning pipelines and integrate models into production environments.
• Fine-tune and optimize foundation models or integrate APIs for GenAI solutions.
• Conduct model performance monitoring, A/B testing, and continuous improvement of deployed solutions.
• Mentor junior data scientists, ML engineers, and analysts on best practices in data science and AI development.
• Stay updated with emerging trends in AI, machine learning, and generative AI ecosystems.
• Translate business requirements into technical AI/ML roadmaps and architecture recommendations.
• Ensure governance, model explainability, and responsible AI practices are followed.

Required Skills (Must Have):

• 10–16 years of hands-on experience in Data Science and advanced analytics.
• Strong expertise in Python for data science, machine learning, statistical analysis, and automation.
• Proven experience with libraries/frameworks such as Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar.
• Hands-on experience in Generative AI (GenAI) including prompt engineering, model orchestration, retrieval-based systems, or AI application development.
• Strong understanding of machine learning algorithms, statistics, predictive modeling, NLP, and deep learning.
• Experience in model deployment, MLOps, and scalable AI solution implementation.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and stakeholder communication skills.

Good to Have Skills:

• Experience working with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT, open-source LLMs, or enterprise AI platforms.
• Exposure to broader AI/ML ecosystems including computer vision, NLP, reinforcement learning, or neural networks.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP for AI workloads.
• Experience with vector databases, embeddings, LangChain/LlamaIndex, or RAG pipelines.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and model lifecycle management.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related field.
• Advanced certifications in AI/ML, Data Science, or Generative AI are a plus.
• Prior experience leading enterprise-scale AI transformation initiatives is preferred.
