Job DescriptionAs a Senior Data & AI Engineer (m/f) at ARHS Group part of Accenture, you will lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced AI solutions across NLP, computer vision, and LLMs - scaling from edge devices to cloud infrastructure. You will shape intelligent systems that transform raw data into secure, high-performing AI-driven platforms, guiding technical strategy and mentoring engineering teams along the way.
Beyond project delivery, you will be the go-to expert and team lead for all Machine Learning matters, responsible for guiding others and consolidating organizational know-how around ML.
THE WORK:
- Act as the team lead for the ML domain: define engineering standards, ensure consistency and reusability across projects, and align AI practices with company goals.
- Architect and oversee AI/ML pipelines covering data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, deployment, and post-deployment monitoring
- Lead the development and customization of LLM-based solutions, including open-source models (e.g., Mistral, LLaMA) on hybrid cloud/on-prem infrastructure, ensuring privacy, latency, and performance constraints are met.
- Design and supervise the implementation of NLP pipelines for information extraction, classification, semantic search, and document understanding.
- Deliver production-grade AI services with high-availability APIs using FastAPI or equivalent frameworks.
- Drive deployment of AI workloads to both cloud platforms (Azure or AWS) and edge devices(e.g., NVIDIA Jetson Orin, Xavier NX) with real-time inference capabilities.
- Own infrastructure automation for reproducible and scalable ML environments using tools like Terraform, Ansible, Docker.
- Architect and integrate AI components into event-driven and serverless ecosystems (e.g., Azure Functions, Event Grid), ensuring observability, resilience, and scalability.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior/mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of best practices in MLOps, reproducibility, and ethical AI use.
Our roles require in-person time to encourage collaboration, learning, and relationship-building with clients, colleagues, and communities. As an employer, we will be as flexible as possible to support your specific work/life needs.
