What You’ll Do:

• Implement, test, and deploy machine learning solutions, including generative models (e.g., GANs, LLMs) and intelligent agents.

• Assist in the creation and ongoing maintenance of agents using agentic frameworks (e.g. LangChain, ADK, Strands) for conversational and task automation applications.

• Fine-tune and evaluate large language models (LLMs) and dialog/conversational systems.

• Prepare and clean datasets for AI/ML analysis, including natural language processing (NLP) using synthetic data generation.

• Collaborate across product, engineering, and data science teams to collect requirements and deliver innovative agentic and generative AI projects.

• Conduct research, experimentation, and evaluation of new generative AI models and agent framework capabilities.

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve deployed agents for performance, reliability, and safety.

• Document workflows, models, and agent architectures to ensure reproducibility and transparency.

• Stay current on advances in generative AI, LLMs, and agent framework technology.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

• Programming experience in Python and standard ML libraries (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).

• Understanding of fundamental machine learning concepts, generative models, NLP, and LLMs.

• Knowledge of or hands-on experience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, ADK (Agent Development Kit), Strands, or similar.

• Familiarity with agent design patterns, prompt engineering, model fine-tuning, and orchestration tools.

• Experience with data analysis and preprocessing libraries (pandas, NumPy).

• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git).

• Strong communication, collaboration, and documentation skills.

• Eagerness to learn and grow in dynamic settings.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Internship or project experience with generative AI, LLMs, and agent development.

• Exposure to deploying agent-based systems on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).

• Experience with data visualization tools (matplotlib, Tableau).

• Understanding of software engineering principles and best practices.

Required Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software, Electrical or Electronics Engineering, or comparable field of study, and/or equivalent work experience
