Gen - AI Engineer

Key Responsibilities

1. Architecture and Strategy

1. Define Gen-AI architecture blueprints, design guidelines, and model-cards aligning with JE data privacy, OT-IT convergence and cost models.

2. Establish enterprise patterns for RAG, model fine-tuning, agentic workflows, security isolation, and cost governance.

2. Platform Delivery

1. Build and operate a reusable Gen-AI platform on Azure (AKS, AzureML, Azure OpenAI) provisioned via IaC (Terraform/Bicep) and managed through DevOps pipelines such as Azure DevOps.

2. Integrate and orchestrate Gen-AI building blocks commercial & open-source LLM APIs, MCP tooling, frameworks such as LangChain and LlamaIndex, vector databases, Azure AI Search indexes.

3. Productionize New Use Cases

1. Partner with functional SMEs (quality, maintenance, logistics, R&D) to transform high-value ideas into production Gen-AI solutions.

2. Guide teams through the full GenAI application lifecycle: problem framing, data acquisition, prompt and model design, human-in-the-loop validation, deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvement.

3. Document reusable patterns and feed lessons learned back into the platform backlog to accelerate subsequent use-case onboarding.
