About the position

We are looking for a highly skilled Applied AI Engineer with a strong engineering mindset to bridge the gap between research and production. In this role, you will be responsible for validating AI models developed by our Data Science team against real-world production systems, and then leading their optimization, deployment, and ongoing maintenance. You will be part of the R&D team, working closely with engineers, data scientists, and product managers to ensure our AI solutions are scalable, reliable, and deliver long-term value. If you enjoy working at the intersection of AI and engineering — bringing models to life in production, optimizing for performance, and building reliable systems — this role is for you! 

Responsibilities

 AI Model Validation, Optimization & Maintenance:

• Partner with the Data Science team to review AI models, validate data assumptions, and assess methodologies.

• Enhance and troubleshoot models by integrating new features and improving efficiency.

• Own model versioning and implement drift detection processes to ensure long-term model reliability and integrity.

AI System Design & Productionization

• Lead the transition of AI models from proof-of-concept to full-scale production, ensuring they meet architectural, scalability, and performance standards. • Ensure models developed in research align with our product requirements, system architecture, and real-world constraints.

• Collaborate with DevOps and cloud infrastructure teams to deploy AI solutions in robust, scalable environments. 

Requirements

✔ 2+ years of experience in ML Engineering, AI models deployment or MLOps roles.

✔ Hands-on experience optimizing AI models for real-time or large-scale applications. ✔ Strong proficiency with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-Learn, etc.)

✔ Production-level coding skills in Python, Java, or other languages used in AI/ML deployment.

✔ Experience deploying AI solutions in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and working with containerized infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker).

✔ Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a focus on model optimization, performance tuning, and long-term reliability

Nice to have

• Experience working with vector databases and generative AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic).
• Familiarity with MLOps practices, including automated model training pipelines, CI/CD for AI, and real-time inference systems.
• Understanding of AI governance, security, and responsible AI principles.
