AI & Platform Implementation

• Design and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures
• Build agent solutions using LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, Agno, and custom frameworks
• Architect and deploy model inference pipelines across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments
• Develop fine-tuning strategies for LLMs and SLMs, including domain and task specialization
• Lead model compression, quantization, and performance-optimization initiatives

Integration & Enterprise Connectivity

• Architect secure REST, gRPC, and GraphQL APIs for AI platform services
• Design event-driven architectures using message buses and webhooks
• Implement authentication and authorization systems (SSO, OIDC, token-based security)
• Build and govern enterprise connectors (Slack, Jira, Salesforce, ERP/CRM platforms)

Data, Models & Evaluation

• Design data preprocessing and governance pipelines (cleaning, deduplication, PII handling)
• Architect embedding generation, re-indexing, and retrieval optimization workflows
• Define chunking, windowing, and content processing strategies
• Establish model evaluation, benchmarking, and selection frameworks

Required Technical Skills

Core AI & GenAI

• Deep experience with GPT-4, Claude, LLaMA, and enterprise/open-source LLM ecosystems
• Expertise deploying and optimizing SLMs (Phi-3, Gemma, TinyLlama)
• Advanced agent frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, Agno
• RAG systems, vector databases, semantic and hybrid retrieval

Fine-Tuning & Model Optimization

• Parameter-efficient tuning: LoRA, QLoRA, DoRA, AdaLoRA
• Prompt-tuning, adapters, prefix tuning, P-tuning v2
• RLHF / RLAIF pipelines
• Compression techniques: quantization (INT8/INT4, GPTQ, AWQ, GGML), pruning, distillation

Deployment & Performance

• Multi-environment deployment (cloud, edge, on-prem)
• Autoscaling, rate-limiting, and resource governance
