About the role

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Data Engineer with a focus on Generative AI to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing data solutions that leverage Generative AI techniques to address our clients' complex data problems.

In this role, you will be tasked with the development and implementation of algorithms and models for generating AI-driven content. This will involve leveraging advanced Generative AI techniques, such as LLM's (Language Models), embeddings, and vector databases. You will also design and optimize data pipelines and distributed systems to handle large-scale data processing and storage, thereby enabling the practical application of generative AI. Staying abreast of the latest advancements in Generative AI and related technologies is crucial in this role, as you will be expected to effectively communicate and apply these advancements to solve our clients' data challenges.

As a technical leader, you will collaborate directly with a project management lead and engage with clients, effectively communicating technical issues and solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
