Senior AI/ML Engineer

About the Role

TEKHQS is seeking a Senior AI/ML Engineer to design, fine-tune, and deploy production-grade Generative AI and LLM-powered systems. This role is ideal for engineers who have shipped real-world ML systems, understand modern transformer architectures, and can operate across the full ML lifecycle—from data and training to inference and optimization.

You will work on scalable AI platforms, enterprise-grade GenAI solutions, and intelligent systems integrated into Web, ERP, and enterprise workflows. This is a hands-on role with strong ownership and architectural influence.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, fine-tune, and optimize transformer-based models (GPT, LLaMA, Mistral, T5) for production use cases.
• Build and maintain end-to-end GenAI pipelines: data processing, training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems using vector databases and hybrid search.
• Optimize inference for latency, throughput, and cost efficiency.
• Work with multi-modal AI (text, embeddings, images, audio where applicable).
• Integrate AI services into enterprise applications, ERP systems, and SaaS platforms.
• Collaborate with product, backend, and cloud teams to deliver scalable AI solutions.
• Apply best practices in ML governance, security, and responsible AI.

Required Skills & Experience

Key Responsibilities – Technical & Engineering

• Design, fine-tune, and optimize transformer-based models (GPT, LLaMA, Mistral, T5, etc.) for real-world enterprise use cases
• Build and maintain scalable GenAI pipelines: data ingestion, training, evaluation, inference, monitoring, and cost optimization
• Implement advanced RAG systems (vector DBs, hybrid search, chunking strategies) for accurate, context-aware responses
• Optimize inference (latency, throughput, cost) using quantization (GPTQ, AWQ), vLLM, TGI, Triton, or similar
• Work with multi-modal AI (text + embeddings, images, structured data) where applicable
• Integrate AI services into ERP platforms (NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics), SaaS products, and custom enterprise applications
• Apply ML governance, security (OWASP, data privacy), and responsible AI best practices
• Lead code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and enforce engineering standards

Key Responsibilities – Business Leadership & Growth

• Act as the technical business partner for AI initiatives — translate client business problems into high-ROI AI solutions
• Own the end-to-end value chain: from opportunity identification, proof-of-concept production, deployment, and measurable business outcomes
• Drive revenue growth through AI features that increase client retention, upsell opportunities, and product stickiness
• Collaborate with sales, product, and client success teams to define AI use cases that deliver clear ROI (cost reduction, revenue uplift, efficiency gains)
• Lead client-facing technical discussions, demos, and POCs to accelerate deal closures and expansions
• Contribute to strategic business planning: identify new AI product verticals, pricing models, and go-to-market opportunities
• Track and report business impact metrics (e.g., ROI, usage growth, churn reduction, revenue attribution) tied to your AI deliveries

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, or related field.
• 4+ years of professional ML experience, with 3+ years in GenAI/LLMs.
• Proven experience deploying AI systems to production.

Work Authorization (US Market Requirement) -

• Must be authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
• US Citizens, Permanent Residents (Green Card holders), or individuals with valid existing US work authorization (e.g., H-1B, O-1, TN, E-3) only.
• Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor visas (including H-1B) or provide relocation assistance at this time.
