• Predictive Analytics: Drive innovation in Timeseries Forecasting, developing robust and scalable models that enhance predictive planning and scenario modeling capabilities.
• Generative AI & LLMs: Architect Generative AI solutions, focusing on fine-tuning open-source and proprietary Large Language Models (LLMs) for specialized enterprise data tasks, heavily leveraging Transformer architectures.
• Next-Gen Interfaces: Design and integrate Conversational AI interfaces and Agentic AI workflows to create intuitive, autonomous user experiences that can independently execute complex planning workflows.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Product, and Design) to transition AI models from prototype to robust, scalable production systems.
• Technical Leadership: Serve as a subject matter expert, mentoring other data scientists and engineers, and fostering a culture of technical excellence, rigorous testing, and continuous learning.

Your Qualifications

• 10+ years of hands-on professional experience in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or related engineering domains.
• End-to-end exposure in model lifecycle development, including extensive experience in training and deploying ML models in production environments.
• Deep knowledge of LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and conversational AI patterns.
• Experience in fine-tuning LLMs for domain-specific enterprise applications.
• Proficiency in Python and modern software development practices (testing, code review, CI/CD).
• Proven track record of delivering complex technical projects on time with high quality.
• Extensive hands-on experience with traditional Machine Learning, Deep Learning techniques, and Timeseries Forecasting algorithms.
• Deep technical understanding of Transformer architectures and practical experience fine-tuning LLMs (e.g., LoRA, QLoRA, RLHF)
• Strong expertise in MLOps and LLMOps, ensuring scalable, reliable, and monitorable model deployments.
• Experience with agentic frameworks and autonomous agent architectures.
• Proficiency in Python and modern software development practices (testing, code review, CI/CD).

Preferred Qualifications

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Statistics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
• Published research, patents, or significant contributions to open-source projects in the AI/ML community.
• Experience working with scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and MLOps tools for model training, monitoring, and deployment.
• Background in forecasting, planning, or analytics applications
• Familiarity with Anaplan or similar enterprise planning platforms
• Experience with A/B testing and experimentation frameworks for AI features
• Contributions to open-source ML projects or research publications
• Experience with model observability tools

What Makes This Role Exciting
