• Model development, training, deployment at scale, monitoring performance for production use cases
• Strong knowledge on Python, Data Engineering, FastAPI, NLP
• Knowledge on Langchain, Llamaindex, Langtrace, Langfuse, LLM evaluation, MLFlow, BentoML
• Should have worked on proprietary and open-source LLMs
• Experience on LLM fine tuning including PEFT/CPT
• Experience in creating Agentic AI workflows using frameworks like CrewAI, Langraph, AutoGen, Symantec Kernel
• Experience in performance optimization, RAG, guardrails, AI governance, prompt engineering, evaluation, and observability
• Experience in GenAI application deployment on cloud and on-premises at scale for production using DevOps practices
• Experience in DevOps and MLOps
• Good working knowledge on Kubernetes and Terraform
• Experience in minimum one cloud: AWS / GCP / Azure to deploy AI services
• Team player with excellent communication and presentation skills

Must have skills:

• Product thinking that includes ideation, prototyping, and scale internal accelerators for LLMOps
• Architect and build scalable LLMOps platforms for enterprise-grade GenAI systems
• Design and manage end-to-end LLM pipelines from data ingestion and embedding to evaluation and inference
• Drive LLM-specific infrastructure: memory management, token control, prompt chaining, and context optimization
• Lead scalable deployment frameworks for LLMs using Kubernetes and GPU-aware scaling
• Build agentic AI operations capabilities including agent evaluation, observability, orchestration and reflection loops
• Guardrails & Observability: Implement output filtering, context-aware routing, evaluation harnesses, metrics logging, and incident response
• Platform Automation for LLMOps: Drive end-to-end automation with Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, DevOps, Terraform, etc.

Product Thinking: Ideate, prototype, and scale internal accelerators and reusable components for LLMOps

GenAI Engineering: Productionize LLM-powered applications with modular, reusable, and secure patterns

Pipeline Architecture: Create evaluation pipelines - including prompt orchestration, feedback loops, and fine-tuning workflows

Prompt & Model Management: Design systems for versioning, AI governance, automated testing, and prompt quality scoring

Scalable Deployment: Architect cloud-native and hybrid deployment strategies for large-scale inference

Guardrails & Observability: Implement output filtering, context-aware routing, evaluation harnesses, metrics logging, and incident response

DevOps & Platform Automation: Drive end-to-end automation with Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, Terraform, etc.

Must-Have Technical Skills

• LLMOps frameworks: LangChain, MLflow, BentoML, Ray, Truss, FastAPI
• Prompt evaluation and scoring systems: OpenAI evals, Ragas, Rebuff, Outlines
• Cloud-native deployment: Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Docker, GitOps
• ML pipeline: Airflow, Prefect, Feast, Feature Store
• Data stack: Spark/Flink, Parquet/Delta, Lakehouse patterns
• Cloud: Azure ML, GCP Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock/SageMaker
• Languages: Python (must), Bash, YAML, Terraform HCL (preferred)
