About this role

Gen AI - Engineering Lead

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Generative AI Engineer Lead to drive the design, development, and deployment of enterprise-grade Generative AI solutions. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs), prompt engineering, AI orchestration frameworks, cloud-native AI architectures, and model evaluation methodologies.

This role will lead the end-to-end lifecycle of GenAI initiatives, from translating business requirements into AI-powered prototypes to delivering scalable, production-ready solutions across AWS, GCP, and Snowflake ecosystems. The candidate will also establish engineering best practices around prompt governance, model guardrails, benchmarking, and performance optimization.

Responsibilities

  • Generative AI Solution Design

  • Architect and implement enterprise-scale GenAI solutions using LLMs, foundation models, and agentic AI frameworks.

  • Design reusable AI patterns, accelerators, and reference architectures to enable rapid solution development.

  • Translate business problems into scalable AI workflows and production-ready proof-of-concepts.

  • Drive AI platform modernization through adoption of emerging GenAI technologies and best practices.

  • Prompt Engineering & LLM Governance

  • Develop and maintain sophisticated prompt engineering frameworks for controlled and reliable LLM outputs.

  • Implement prompt versioning, prompt lifecycle management, and testing strategies.

  • Design AI guardrails to mitigate hallucinations, bias, security risks, and compliance concerns.

  • Establish best practices for prompt optimization, response consistency, and output quality management.

  • AI Workflow Orchestration & Automation

  • Prototyping & Business Enablement

  • Partner with business stakeholders to identify high-value AI opportunities.

  • Rapidly develop AI prototypes and MVP solutions using synthetic and enterprise datasets.

  • Convert prototypes into production-ready applications adhering to scalability, security, and reliability standards.

  • Cloud & Data Engineering

  • Build scalable GenAI architectures across AWS, GCP, and Snowflake platforms.

  • Leverage cloud-native AI services including Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, Vertex AI, Snowflake Cortex AI, and related ecosystems.

  • Design robust RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures incorporating vector databases, embeddings, and semantic search.

  • Optimize model deployment, inference performance, and infrastructure cost efficiency.

  • Evaluation & Performance Optimization

  • Establish AI evaluation frameworks to measure accuracy, relevance, latency, safety, and business impact.

  • Develop benchmarking methodologies for comparing prompts, models, and workflows.

  • Define KPIs, observability frameworks, and monitoring strategies for GenAI applications.

  • Continuously improve model performance through prompt tuning, retrieval optimization, and workflow enhancements.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field.

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering, machine learning, data engineering, or AI solution development.

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience with Generative AI, LLMs, and foundation models.

  • Strong experience designing enterprise GenAI solutions utilizing advanced LLM architectures and prompt frameworks.

  • Expertise in building scalable AI workflows, orchestration pipelines, and reusable AI components.

  • Proven ability to translate business requirements into production-ready AI solutions and prototypes using synthetic data.

  • Deep understanding of prompt versioning, prompt governance, guardrails, and controlled LLM outputs.

  • Strong knowledge of AI evaluation frameworks, benchmarking methodologies, and optimization techniques.
