Senior Python AI Engineer (Remote)

We’re looking for a Senior Python AI Engineer having 6+ years of experience, with a focus on generative AI. The candidate will collaborate with AI researchers and cross-functional teams to integrate, optimize, and maintain generative AI solutions—ensuring they deliver tangible business value in a reliable, scalable manner.

Key Responsibilities

• Use generative AI APIs, pre-trained models, and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Hugging Face) to build solutions that meet defined business and product needs.
• Develop and refine prompt engineering strategies to optimize model outputs for specific use cases.
• Transform proofs-of-concept into stable production code, ensuring solutions are well-structured, maintainable, and thoroughly tested.
• Establish robust monitoring and logging to track model performance and quickly address issues in real-world settings.
• Optimize AI pipelines for performance, cost-efficiency, and reliability—implement caching, load balancing, and resource management best practices.
• Collaborate with DevOps teams to containerize and orchestrate AI services using tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
• Work closely with data scientists, software engineers, and product managers to gather requirements, streamline development, and ensure smooth integration with existing systems.
• Serve as the generative AI subject matter expert, advising stakeholders on capabilities, limitations, and best practices.
• Adhere to company policies for data governance, security, and compliance in the use of generative AI tools.
• Contribute to documentation and guidelines that codify best practices for safe, ethical AI deployments.
• Stay updated on emerging generative AI technologies, frameworks, and industry trends.
• Proactively identify new opportunities to leverage generative AI for operational efficiencies or innovative products.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of Python development in a production environment, preferably involving AI or data-driven applications.
• Hands-on experience with generative AI frameworks and APIs (e.g., OpenAI GPT, Hugging Face Transformers), including prompt engineering or fine-tuning techniques.
• Experience with SQL alchemy, postgres, AWS SDKs
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) and containerization/orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong problem-solving skills with an aptitude for performance optimization and building scalable systems.
• Excellent collaboration and communication abilities, comfortable working with cross-functional teams and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS) is a plus, especially in deploying AI workloads.
