Description:
Position : Senior AI Engineer.
About This Role
Join our Engineering team as a Senior AI Engineer leading the design and delivery of a
strategic, regulated-grade AI platform initiative.
The work spans conversational AI for customer
engagement, customer analytics and segmentation, and AI-driven workforce solutions.
You will
own the end-to-end AI architecture across Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval
Augmented Generation (RAG), agentic workflows, and classical machine learning.
You will set
technical direction, enforce responsible-AI standards, and mentor a team of mid-level AI
engineers delivering production use cases in a tightly regulated fintech environment.
Key Responsibilities
• AI Architecture & Delivery: Design and deliver multi-use-case AI solutions spanning
conversational AI, ML-based customer segmentation, and agentic workflow automation,
ensuring low-latency inference, secure cloud deployment, and regulatory alignment
• LLM & RAG Systems: Architect production-grade Retrieval-Augmented Generation
pipelines with vector databases, embeddings strategy, grounded responses, and
prompt/response guardrails for compliance-sensitive conversational AI
• Agentic AI: Build multi-step agentic workflows with tool use, memory, and human-in
the-loop checkpoints for automated outreach, decision support, and Next-Best-Action
recommendations
• Multilingual Model Engineering: Lead fine-tuning and evaluation of small/large
language models across regional and South-Asian languages (including Arabic, Nepali,
Bengali, Malayalam) to serve a diverse customer base
• Classical ML & Propensity Modeling: Oversee Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), RFM,
and real-time propensity scoring models backed by feature stores and champion
challenger frameworks
• Responsible AI & Safety: Implement bias detection, explainability (SHAP, LIME),
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) masking, red-team testing, and automated
guardrails; own compliance alignment with applicable data protection and financial
services regulations
• Technical Leadership: Mentor mid-level AI engineers, lead design reviews, set coding
and MLOps standards, and accelerate delivery against a compressed pilot timeline
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with product managers, data engineers, risk,
compliance, and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into
explainable, audit-ready AI solutions
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science,
or a related field
• Minimum of 7 years of professional experience in AI/ML engineering, with at least 2
years on production LLM or GenAI systems
• Expert-level Python; strong software engineering fundamentals and API design
• Deep experience with LLM frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Semantic Kernel)
and RAG architectures
• Hands-on experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, or pgvector)
and embedding models
• Proven experience designing agentic AI workflows with tool calling, planning, and
evaluation loops
• Strong classical ML expertise: scikit-learn, XGBoost, PyTorch or TensorFlow, feature
engineering, model evaluation
• Experience fine-tuning transformer models (LoRA, QLoRA, instruction tuning) and
evaluating multilingual LLMs/SLMs
• MLOps: model serving, monitoring, drift detection, CI/CD for ML (MLflow, Kubeflow,
SageMaker, or equivalent)
• Responsible AI: bias/fairness auditing, explainability techniques, PII handling, and
guardrail frameworks (Guardrails AI, NeMo Guardrails)
• Experience leading and mentoring AI/ML engineering teams
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience delivering AI in banking, fintech, or other regulated industries
• Working knowledge of Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP) and South-Asian
language models
• Familiarity with on-premise, private-cloud, or sovereign-cloud deployment of AI
workloads
• Experience with feature stores (Feast, Tecton) and real-time scoring infrastructure
• Understanding of financial-services data protection regulations (e.g., PDPA, GDPR, or
equivalent)
• Contributions to open-source AI projects or published research
