AI/ML Python Developer Lead

You will lead AI/ML projects focusing on LLMs, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic systems, and embedding models. Your responsibilities will include guiding the design and development of scalable Python-based AI systems using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, and Hugging Face. You will also develop and integrate advanced chatbot systems (text and voice) with tools such as OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and vLLM. As part of your role, you will architect and implement solutions using Model Context Protocol (MCP) for managing structured prompt flows, context switching, and modular multi-step agent reasoning. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including product, data, IT, and support teams, to translate business needs into AI solutions will be essential. Additionally, you will ensure proper orchestration and error handling in agentic workflows and decision automation systems. Contributing to RCD by evaluating emerging AI frameworks and building production-grade reusable components will also be a key responsibility. Effective communication with stakeholders, managing expectations, and providing technical direction throughout the project lifecycle will be crucial. Overseeing code quality, model performance, and deployment pipelines across cloud platforms like AWS is also part of the role. Managing vector search pipelines, data storage solutions (e.g., Neo4j, Postgres, Pinecone), and model inference optimization will be required. Furthermore, you will mentor and guide junior team members in development, best practices, and research.
