Job Description: Lead ML Engineer

Role Summary:

Lead the design and delivery of AI solutions across Agentic AI, Generative AI (LLMs) and classical ML/CV. Own the technical direction for suggestion & rules frameworks, search/retrieval, document and web data extraction, and image/OCR pipelines for the Value Stream. Provide architectural leadership, mentor engineers, and ensure production-grade quality, safety, and reliability. Should be familiar with evaluation strategies, responsible AI, explainability.

Responsibilities:

Define end-to-end architecture for LLM/agent systems (tool use, orchestration, guardrails) and classical ML components.
Design suggestion engines and policy/rule layers that combine deterministic constraints with generative outputs.
Architect search & retrieval (BM25 + embeddings) and RAG pipelines drive relevance tuning and evaluation.
Oversee robust scraping & extraction (Playwright/Selenium/Trafilatura) and structured normalization (JSON/Parquet, schema validation).
Direct image processing and OCR workflows (OpenCV, pytesseract/ocrmypdf) for document understanding.
Establish evaluation strategy: offline/online experiments, quality/latency/cost KPIs integrate Deep Eval for unit-style LLM tests.
Guide data governance, privacy/PII handling, and secure model/agent operations with MLOps partners.
Mentor the team, run design reviews, and produce clear design docs, RFCs, and POVs for stakeholders.
Concepts & Technical Awareness (Expected)
Model generalization vs. overfitting/underfitting bias/variance trade-offs regularization and early stopping.
Deep learning fundamentals: CNNs, RNNs/LSTMs/GRUs, and modern transformers encoder/decoder architectures and attention.
LLM inner-workings at a practical level: tokenization, context windows, inference strategies (batching, caching, quantization), fine-tuning/PEFT, and RAG.
Inference and serving techniques for throughput/cost (vectorization, mixed precision, compile/acceleration paths where applicable).
Tooling Familiarity
Py Torch Hugging Face ecosystem (transformers, datasets, sentence-transformers/SBERT) BERT/Llama families as applicable.
Lang Chain for orchestration familiarity with Lang Graph/Lang Mem for agentic workflows (subject to approval).
spa Cy, scikit-learn LightGBM/Flair where relevant Optuna for HPO SHAP for model explainability.
Search: Elastic/Open Search vector stores (FAISS/Pinecone/pgvector) docarray for embedding flows.
Document & web data: Playwright/Selenium, Trafilatura, pypdf, pdfplumber, pdfkit tokenization tools like tiktoken.
Stakeholder demos: Streamlit (local-only).

Qualifications:

Proven record architecting and shipping production ML/LLM systems.
Strong written and verbal communication experience leading Agile delivery and cross-functional collaboration.
You will be working with a Trusted Tax Technology Leader, committed to delivering reliable and innovative solutions
