- Develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions that combine large language models with proprietary investment data.
- Work in close coordination with Data Engineers to integrate AI workflows into enterprise-scale data pipelines.
- Build APIs and services that expose AI-powered capabilities to internal and external applications.
- Develop and maintain user documentation, architecture diagrams, and operational procedures.
- Collaborate with Product and Business teams to translate user needs into intelligent platform capabilities.
- Provide technical recommendations regarding AI architecture, model selection, and infrastructure requirements.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to engineering guidelines.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, pgvector, Elasticsearch, or similar technologies.
- Experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, or related AI frameworks.
- Experience building enterprise search, knowledge management, or document intelligence platforms.
- Experience with OCR and document processing technologies.
- Knowledge of MLOps and machine learning deployment patterns.
