Role Overview:
Own the end-to-end technical design for large-language-model (LLM) and generative-AI solutions across NVIDIA, AWS, Azure and GCP stacks. You will translate business use-cases into secure, scalable architectures, lead reference implementations, and mentor delivery teams for enterprise deployments—especially in financial-services environments.
Core Responsibilities:
- Shape multi-cloud architectures for training, fine-tuning and serving LLMs (e.g., NeMo, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI).
- Define MLOps/GitOps patterns for model lifecycle, vector–DB indexing, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and guard-railing.
- Benchmark and cost-optimize GPU, Grace Hopper and CPU clusters (TCO & carbon impact).
- Build production pipelines in Python (FastAPI, LangChain, Ray, Triton, Airflow).
- Establish security and compliance controls (encryption, IAM, SOC 2, FINRA, GDPR).
- Support pre-sales and proofs-of-concept with capital-markets clients.
Preferred Qualifications:
- 10-15 yrs building cloud-native data or ML platforms on AWS, Azure and/or GCP.
- Deep expertise in Python plus one of Go, Java or C++.
- Hands-on with embedding models, tokenizer optimisation, prompt orchestration and OpenAI/Anthropic APIs.
- Prior delivery of enterprise Gen-AI systems (risk analytics, chatbots, document generation, etc.).
- Solid grounding in distributed systems (K8s, service mesh, Kafka, Redis, GPU scheduling).
Nice-to-Have:
- Experience with kdb+/q, ClickHouse or similar time-series stores.
- Contributions to open-source AI frameworks or NVIDIA NGC containers.
- Working knowledge of SRE/FinOps best practice.
