AI Systems Engineer

About
Build, fine-tune, and evaluate LLM systems for domain-specific tasks (QLoRA / PEFT on open-weight models such as Llama-3 and Mistral).
Design reproducible evaluation harnesses and A/B test frameworks with tracked metrics: task success rate, safety rate, and latency distributions (p50/p95).
Architect multi-agent and RAG systems (LangGraph, FastAPI, vector databases) from prototype through production.
Implement safety guardrails — input/output validation, allowlist/denylist policies, and controls that reduce invalid or high-risk model actions.
Translate business use cases into deployable prototypes with measurable acceptance criteria, and demo them to stakeholders.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 6–8+ years in software, DevOps, or platform engineering, including at least 2 years in an applied AI or ML engineering capacity.
• Proven delivery of production AI/LLM systems — not only research or notebook-stage work.
• Strong Python; comfortable with Bash and YAML.
• Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker/Podman, and Terraform.
• Production experience with at least one major cloud (Azure preferred; OCI or GCP acceptable).
• Demonstrated ownership of CI/CD at scale (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and GitOps release models.
• Experience leading a team and setting engineering standards across multiple squads.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Applied AI, Machine Learning, or a related discipline.
• Fine-tuning experience with QLoRA/LoRA on GPU clusters; PyTorch and Transformers.
• Vector database experience (Milvus, Pinecone, or Weaviate) and RAG retrieval design.
• Experience delivering on government or large-scale national digital platforms, with familiarity in local compliance and standards.
• Arabic and English professional proficiency.
