Job Overview

We are hiring a Senior AI Engineer for our GCC client — Europe’s top retail brands. SRKay Consulting Group is a consulting firm that helps Fortune 500 companies set up and scale Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India.  This opportunity gives you exposure to enterprise-scale initiatives in retail and supply chain, working alongside a peer group of talented engineers, architects, and domain specialists across geographies in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment. It’s a role that not only sharpens your technical expertise but also provides long-term visibility and growth within a global organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Enterprise Orchestration: Build and scale complex workflows using n8n (Vertex AI Pipelines experience is an advantage), ensuring seamless integration between LLMs (Gemini 2.5/3.0), internal systems and databases, and external APIs.
• Modern AI Deployment: Containerize and deploy models as scalable microservices using FastAPI, Docker, and GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine).
• Advanced AI Orchestration: Design and implement sophisticated LLM workflows and multi-agent systems, potentially adopting frameworks like LangGraph, LangChain, AgentSkills, and MCP to create autonomous, tool-using solutions.
• End-to-End Agentic RAG Development: Lead the complete RAG lifecycle, managing everything from data cleansing, chunking, and embedding strategies to the final delivery of production-ready enterprise solutions.
• Model Optimization: Fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs like Gemma 3) using PEFT (LoRA/QLoRA) within Vertex AI Studio.
• Prompt Engineering: Develop and refine high-quality prompts to assist in the precise execution and optimization of AI solution logic.
• Market Intelligence: Maintain a proactive watch on the AI market to identify and adopt emerging technologies that provide a competitive advantage.
• Production Quality & Ops: Collaborate with MLOps/LLMOps teams to ensure seamless product delivery, implementing robust monitoring to maintain high production quality after go-live.
• Collaborative Solution Design: Work closely with the High-Code Engineering team and engage directly with business stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure AI solutions are perfectly aligned with user needs.
• Model Strategy & Evaluation: Perform rigorous model evaluations to decide which LLMs should be adopted or replaced within existing solutions to optimize performance and cost.
• User Interface Hosting: Host user interfaces with Gradio/Streamlit for users to interact with AI solutions.

Requirements & Skills

• Vertex AI Suite: Hands-on experience with Vertex AI Agent Builder, Model Garden, and Vertex AI Search & Conversation.
• Gemini Ecosystem: Proficiency in utilizing the Gemini API (Pro, Flash, and Ultra) and Gemini Code Assist for accelerated development.
• Data Cleansing & Analytics: Hands-on experience in data cleansing with Python for grounding AI solutions in structured data.
• Agentic Frameworks: Expertise in LangGraph and LangChain for building stateful, multi-turn agentic applications.
• Model Engineering: Strong proficiency in Python (PyTorch, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow) for training, fine-tuning, and evaluating neural networks.
• Cloud: Proven experience with and a deep understanding of the Azure and GCP ecosystems.
• CI/CD/MLOps: Mastery of Vertex AI Pipelines, Azure DevOps, Argo Workflows, and container orchestration via Kubernetes (GKE).
• Orchestration Tools: Expert-level knowledge of n8n, specifically using Python Code Nodes and custom API connectors.
• Real-time Data: Experience with CDC to ensure vector stores reflect real-time database changes.
• Experience building large-scale production AI workloads on Azure or Google Cloud.
• Related AI Engineering certifications are beneficial.
