Responsibilities

Build, train, and fine-tune generative AI models (e.g., LLMs, GANs, VAEs) to support features like automated code generation, UI design, workflow creation, or data synthesis
Collaborate with the software architect to integrate AI models into the platform via APIs, ensuring seamless interaction with backend and frontend systems
Design and optimize data preprocessing pipelines to prepare high-quality datasets for training and inference, tailored to business application needs
Enhance model efficiency (e.g., latency, memory usage) for real-time or near-real-time application generation, using techniques like quantization or pruning
Research and experiment with state-of-the-art GenAI techniques to improve platform capabilities, such as natural language understanding, image generation, or predictive analytics
Rigorously evaluate model outputs for accuracy, relevance, and robustness, ensuring generated applications meet user expectations and industry standards
Work with DevOps to deploy AI models into production, leveraging cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google) and containerized environments (e.g., Kubernetes, EKS, AKS, GKE)
Implement monitoring tools to track model performance and drift in production, iterating based on real-world feedback
