megállapodás szerint

My responsibilities:

  • Collaborates with Data Scientists to validate and scale new algorithms, spanning classical machine learning, deep learning, and LLM-based approaches, through pilot phases, and later industrializes these solutions at scale.
  • Designs, builds and operates Generative AI / LLM applications (e.g., RAG pipelines, fine-tuned models, agentic workflows), applying LLMOps practices such as prompt and version management, systematic evaluation, guardrails, and cost/latency optimization
  • Influences, contributes and maintains the large-scale data infrastructure required for the AI projects in close collaboration with the data engineers
  • Leverages an understanding of software architecture and software design patterns to write scalable, maintainable, well-designed and future-proof code
  • Designs, develops and maintains the framework for analytical and ML pipelines, applying MLOps practices: CI/CD for models, automated training and retraining workflows, model registry and reproducible deployments
  • Develops common components to address pain points in machine learning projects, such as model lifecycle management, feature stores, data quality evaluation, and evaluation harnesses for LLM-based applications
  • Implements monitoring and observability for models in production, including tracking data and model drift, performance degradation, and, for GenAI applications, output quality and hallucination.
  • Supports responsible AI practices: contributes to model risk management, explainability, and compliance with applicable AI regulation (e.g., EU AI Act) and internal governance standards

Experience with the core data/ML stack is beneficial: SQL, Spark, Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Databricks
  • Experience with MLOps tooling is beneficial: MLflow or comparable experiment tracking and model registry, workflow orchestration (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Databricks Declarative Automation Bundles), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud ML platforms
  • Experience with the GenAI/LLM ecosystem is beneficial: Hugging Face, LLM APIs, orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex), vector databases (e.g., pgvector, Azure/Databricks AI Search), and LLM evaluation/observability tooling
  • Has experience working with large data sets, simulation/optimization and distributed computing tools (e.g., Spark, Ray)

Agile / Digital Experience

  • Has experience working in AI startup environment or organizations with an agile culture
  • Has a professional attitude and service orientation; superb team player
