Job RequirementsPosition: Lead AI/ML DeveloperExperience: 6+ years (with at least 3+ years in AI/ML/NLP projects)We are seeking a highly skilled Lead AI/ML Developer to design and implement next-generation AI-powered knowledge management systems. The ideal candidate will have expertise in document understanding, LLMs, multimodal AI, and agentic AI systems.You will lead the development of a co-pilot-style solution capable of ingesting, processing, and reasoning over large volumes of documents (PDFs, scanned images, engineering drawings, invoices, P&IDs, SOPs, etc.), and delivering accurate, context-aware answers to user queries.This role requires deep expertise in both cloud-native (Azure) and open-source AI ecosystems, with the ability to design autonomous, agent-driven workflows that integrate multiple tools, APIs, and data sources.Work ExperienceKey ResponsibilitiesAI/ML Solution Design & Development

Architect and implement document understanding pipelines (structured + unstructured data).
Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems and LLM-based copilots for enterprise knowledge management.
Develop agentic AI workflows (using LangChain Agents, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, etc.) for multi-step reasoning and automation.
Integrate OCR, computer vision, and NLP models to process scanned PDFs, engineering drawings, invoices, and P&ID diagrams.
Fine-tune and optimize LLMs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face, LLaMA, etc.) for enterprise use.

Cloud & Data Engineering

Build scalable AI solutions on Azure tech stack (Azure AI Search, Cognitive Services, Azure OpenAI, Azure Functions, Blob Storage, AKS).
Implement vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Azure AI Search, FAISS) for semantic and multimodal search.
Design and manage efficient data pipelines using Python, SQL, and distributed processing frameworks.

Full-Stack Collaboration

Work with front-end developers (React) to integrate AI services into user-friendly applications.
Ensure smooth API design and deployment of AI services.

Performance & Governance

Ensure system scalability, low latency, and cost efficiency.
Apply best practices for responsible AI (bias mitigation, data security, compliance).
