About the role
As an AI Data Specialist, you will play a key role in the design, development, and deployment of an Agentic AI platform that streamlines the creation of AI-driven customer solutions. You will work closely with AI engineers and cross-functional teams to support the deployment, integration, and scaling of AI services across enterprise environments.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and implement data-driven AI solutions for an Agentic AI platform, aligning with enterprise architecture and business objectives.
- Build and maintain scalable data processing pipelines for AI workloads, including data ingestion, cleansing, transformation, and feature engineering.
- Develop and deploy end-to-end AI systems using LLMs, SLMs, and VLMs for advanced data processing, enrichment, and automation.
- Leverage NVIDIA AI technologies (e.g., CUDA, NV-Ingest, VLM..etc) or similar platforms to optimize model training, fine-tuning, and inference performance.
- Implement and manage vector databases such as Milvus, PostgreSQL (PGVector), or other vector stores to support semantic search, embeddings, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) use cases.
- Design and optimize data and retrieval pipelines that integrate structured and unstructured data with LLM-based reasoning systems.
- Develop and integrate AI components (APIs, microservices, inference layers) into enterprise platforms across cloud, on-premise, and edge environments.
- Select and implement data engineering and pipeline orchestration tools to ensure scalable and reliable data workflows.
- Apply best practices in data engineering, MLOps, and AIOps, including pipeline monitoring, versioning, and performance tuning.
- Ensure data security, governance, and compliance, including encryption, access control, and secure data handling practices.
- Write clean, maintainable, and reusable code following enterprise development standards and best practices.
- Create detailed technical documentation, including data flow architectures, pipeline designs, model integration patterns, and system interfaces.
- Continuously evaluate and adopt emerging AI, LLM, and data technologies to improve solution effectiveness and scalability.
- Support solution design discussions, PoCs, and pre-sales activities by providing expertise in AI data architecture and implementation.
- Effectively communicate technical designs, data strategies, and AI solutions to both technical teams and business stakeholders.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.
- 3-5+ years of experience in AI/data engineering and implementation roles, including data engineering, machine learning, NLP, or Generative AI-focused data solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in building end-to-end Generative AI and data-driven solutions, including data preprocessing, embedding generation, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using LLMs and multimodal models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Llama, Hugging Face, Amazon Bedrock).
- Strong experience with data processing frameworks and pipeline development.
- Hands-on experience with vector databases such as Milvus, PostgreSQL (PGVector), Pinecone, or similar, including embedding management and semantic search implementations.
- Experience working with the NVIDIA AI ecosystem (e.g., GPUs, CUDA, TensorRT, NeMo) or equivalent acceleration technologies for efficient data processing, model training, and inference is a strong plus.
- Strong understanding of data architectures involving structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, and building scalable pipelines to support AI/ML workloads.
- Experience integrating AI/data solutions across cloud and on-premise environments, including containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Proven experience implementing MLOps, LLMOps, and DataOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, data versioning, monitoring, and lifecycle management using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, MLflow, or similar.
- Solid understanding of data governance, security, and compliance, including handling sensitive data and implementing access controls and encryption.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate complex data and AI requirements into scalable, reusable solutions.
