• Build end-to-end ML pipelines covering data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring (MLOps).
• Monitor and optimise deployed models for performance, reliability, and scalability.

2. AI Research & Application

• Research and experiment with LLMs, Agentic AI, NLP, recommendation systems, and adaptive learning algorithms.
• Develop and optimise LLM/SLM applications, including fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, and intelligent AI agents.
• Evaluate emerging AI technologies, tools, and frameworks to enhance platform capabilities.

3. Knowledge Engineering

• Design and implement knowledge graphs, graph databases, and domain-specific knowledge structures to support intelligent learning systems.

4. Collaboration & Technical Leadership

• Collaborate with product, engineering, and business teams to translate user needs into measurable AI solutions.
• Mentor junior AI/ML engineers and establish best practices for code quality, testing, reproducibility, and responsible AI.

5. Technical Strategy & Innovation

• Contribute to technical roadmaps, architectural decisions, and the long-term AI strategy.
• Drive continuous improvement and innovation across the AI platform.

Requirements

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

• Strong proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Hugging Face.
• Proven experience fine-tuning and evaluating LLMs/SLMs using domain-specific data, including RAG, prompt engineering, and model benchmarking.
• Strong experience with Agentic AI frameworks and patterns, including multi-agent orchestration, tool use, planning, and expert routing.
• Hands-on experience with knowledge graphs and graph databases, including ontology modelling and schema design.
• Experience with multimodal AI, particularly speech processing (ASR, prosody) and/or computer vision (OCR, handwriting recognition, diagram understanding), is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and lead technical initiatives from concept to delivery.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Genuine interest in education and applying AI to improve learning outcomes.

Benefits:

• Competitive gross salary package, inclusive of taxes and insurance.
• Performance-based bonus.
• Annual leave according to company policy.
• Annual performance review.
• Opportunity to work on advanced AI technologies and build production-grade AI solutions.
