Senior Consultant - AI Engineer (POC expert)

Job description

Role - Senior Consultant - AI Engineer (POC expert) Exp - 12+ Yrs Mode - Hybrid Location - Pune Joining time required - Immediate to 30 Days JD: We are seeking a Senior AI Engineer to design and build rapid AI prototypes that demonstrate technical feasibility and business value within time‑boxed innovation cycles. You will partner closely with the Technical Architect and Product/POC Manager to implement model integration and prompt engineering , while documenting findings and reusable patterns for future reuse and transition readiness. This is a hands‑on senior IC role oriented toward POC execution and feasibility validation —not long‑term production ownership. 1) Rapid POC Prototype Development (Feasibility + Value) • Build functional POCs that validate AI approaches against well-defined business problems and success metrics. • Translate hypotheses into working prototypes quickly, balancing rigor with speed in short sprint cycles (typically 4–6 weeks). 2) GenAI / LLM Integration & Prompting • Integrate LLM capabilities into prototype applications and workflows. • Apply prompt engineering techniques (structured prompts, few-shot patterns, guardrails) to improve reliability and demo readiness. • Partner with prompt engineering specialists where applicable; otherwise, own prompting as part of prototype delivery. 3) Agentic / Orchestrated Workflows (POC-grade) • Implement multi-step AI workflows that chain model calls and/or tools (POC-grade orchestration). • Assemble reusable patterns (e.g., summarization, unstructured doc processing, routing workflows) that can be used beyond a single POC. 4) Engineering Teamwork & Demo Readiness • Collaborate directly with Data Engineers, UI/UX Engineers, and Product/POC Managers to ensure prototypes are usable and decision-enabling. • Produce demo-ready outcomes that clearly communicate feasibility, limitations, and next steps to partners. 5) Documentation, Reuse & Transition Readiness • Document findings, prompt patterns, design decisions, and constraints in a way that enables reuse across POCs and supports handoff to execution teams. • Contribute to the lab’s growing library of reusable AI patterns and prototype assets. Technical Skills: Bringing a bachelor’s or master’s degree - B.E. / B.Tech / M.S. / M.Tech / MCA degree in Computer Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics or a related subject area 10+ years overall experience in software engineering, applied AI, data/analytics engineering, or related technical fields. 3+ years of relevant hands-on experience delivering GenAI/LLM-based solutions (prototype/MVP/POC experience strongly preferred). Shown ability to deliver in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
