Director of Artificial Intelligence

Job Role : Director of AI Development

Location New York City, NY (2 Days onsite / Week)

Duration : Long term Contract

JD : About the Role :

The Director of AI Development applies expertise in AI and Generative AI to design, build, and optimize machine learning systems that enable next-generation solutions at scale. This role focuses on deploying scalable and efficient machine learning models into production, and monitoring and improving the performance of AI systems. The Director collaborates with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of models into business workflows.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop end-to-end applications that seamlessly integrate machine learning capabilities, including real-time inference, batch processing, and efficient data management to deliver scalable and robust solutions.
• Identify bottlenecks in the model development, deployment, and monitoring process.
• Design and implement production-ready machine learning pipelines, including model training, validation, deployment, and monitoring (e.g., labelled data sets to check performance of prompts).
• Build scalable, high-performance infrastructure to support Generative AI workflows (e.g., distributed training, inference optimization, and GPU / TPU utilization).
• Deploy GenAI applications into production cloud environments with performance, cost, and latency trade-offs considered (e.g., open-source vs. closed-source, quantization, prompt token length, completion caching, prompt caching).
• Monitor and troubleshoot model performance, addressing issues such as performance drift and response latency.
• Stay at the forefront of Generative AI advancements, identifying opportunities to incorporate the latest research and techniques into production systems.
