Role description

Role: Senior AI Architect (ML / MLOps / GenAI)

Location: Atlanta, GA 30342 (100% Onsite)

We are seeking a Senior AI Architect with deep expertise in Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), ML models, MLOps, AI Governance, and scalable AI architectures. This role requires hands-on experience in building, optimizing, and deploying AI/ML solutions while driving end-to-end model lifecycle management. The ideal candidate should have very strong knowledge of vector databases, chatbot architectures, hyperparameter tuning, statistics, ML model optimization, and AI security. A superior person with all-rounder experience in leading AI/ML, ML OPS and Governance delivery teams mixed of data scientists, data engineers as well as AI/ML Engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. End-to-End ML Development & Model Optimization

   • Design, develop, and deploy ML models including Random Forest, XGBoost, Light GBM, SVMs, and Deep Learning models (CNN, RNN, Transformers).

   • Perform hyperparameter tuning using Grid Search, Bayesian Optimization, Genetic Algorithms, and Reinforcement Learning.

   • Implement advanced feature engineering, feature selection, and dimensionality reduction techniques (PCA, LDA).

   • Optimize model inference latency, throughput, and memory footprint for real-time applications.

  1. Generative AI & LLM Development

   • Fine-tune and optimize LLMs (GPT, Claude, Llama, Falcon, Mistral) for chatbots, document processing, content generation, and AI agents.

   • Architect retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines using vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, ChromaDB, Milvus).

   • Implement prompt engineering, chain-of-thought reasoning, and context-aware AI solutions.

   • Develop multi-modal AI applications, integrating text, image, and speech models.

  1. MLOps & Model Lifecycle Management

   • Build CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows using MLflow, TFX, SageMaker Pipelines, or Kubeflow.

   • Monitor and mitigate model drift through A/B testing, retraining pipelines, and performance tracking (Evidently AI, SHAP, LIME).

   • Deploy models using containerized solutions (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS ECS/Fargate, Lambda).

   • Optimize inference using TensorRT, ONNX, quantization, and model pruning for cost-efficient AI solutions.

  1. AI Governance, Statistics & Model Explainability

   • Implement AI governance best practices, ensuring compliance with GDPR, AI Act, HIPAA, and other regulations.

   • Apply statistical techniques (hypothesis testing, probability distributions, regression analysis) for model validation and bias detection.

   • Utilize explainability tools (SHAP, LIME, Integrated Gradients, Captum) for transparent AI models.

  1. API Development & Performance Optimization

   • Design and deploy high-performance APIs (FastAPI, Flask, GraphQL) for AI model integration.

   • Optimize API latency, caching, async processing, and load balancing to support real-time AI systems.

  1. Leadership, Collaboration & Innovation

   • Partner with Data Engineers, Cloud Architects, and Product Teams to align AI/ML solutions with business goals.

   • Mentor teams, lead technical discussions, and drive innovation in AI/ML technologies.

   • Stay ahead of emerging trends in AI/ML, including LLM advancements, reinforcement learning, and AI security.

   • Lead by example and help the client in crucial decision-making situations
