Hello There,

My name is

Amit Kumar , and I serve as the

at

Kanak-IT INC.

I am reaching out to share an excellent career opportunity for the role of

AI/ML ENGINEER/ GenAI ENGINEER

with our esteemed client. Job Title: AI/ML ENGINEER/ GenAI ENGINEER

Location: Onsite, Mclean, Virginia (5 days onsite)

Duration: 6+ Months Contract

Interview: Onsite Interview in Mclean, VA Job Description

Data Scientist Specialist Position Summary

The client is seeking a highly experienced Principal Gen AI Scientist with a strong focus on Generative AI (GenAI) to lead the design and development of cutting-edge AI Agents, Agentic Workflows, and Gen AI Applications that solve complex business problems. This role requires advanced proficiency in Prompt Engineering, Large Language Models (LLMs), RAG, Graph RAG, MCP, A2A, multimodal AI, Gen AI Patterns, Evaluation Frameworks, Guardrails, data curation, and AWS cloud deployments. Candidate will serve as a hands-on Gen AI (data) scientist and critical thought leader, working alongside full stack developers, UX designers, product managers, and data engineers to shape and implement enterprise-grade Gen AI solutions.

Architect and implement scalable AI Agents, Agentic Workflows, and GenAI applications to address diverse and complex business use cases. Develop, finetune, and optimize lightweight LLMs; lead the evaluation and adaptation of models such as Claude (Anthropic), Azure OpenAI, and open-source alternatives. Design and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Graph RAG systems using vector databases and knowledge bases. Curate enterprise data using connectors integrated with AWS Bedrock's Knowledge Base/Elastic Implement solutions leveraging MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) communication. Build and maintain Jupyter-based notebooks using platforms like SageMaker and MLFlow/Kubeflow on Kubernetes (EKS). Collaborate with cross-functional teams of UI and microservice engineers, designers, and data engineers to build full-stack Gen AI experiences. Integrate GenAI solutions with enterprise platforms via API-based methods and GenAI standardized patterns. Establish and enforce validation procedures with Evaluation Frameworks, bias mitigation, safety protocols, and guardrails for production-ready deployment. Design & build robust ingestion pipelines that extract, chunk, enrich, and anonymize data from PDFs, video, and audio sources for use in LLM-powered workflows - leveraging best practices like semantic chunking and privacy controls Orchestrate multimodal pipelines using scalable frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, PySpark) for automated ETL/ELT workflows appropriate for unstructured media Implement embeddings drives - map media content to vector representations using embedding models, and integrate with vector stores (AWS Knowledge Base/Elastic/Mongo Atlas) to support RAG architectures Required Qualifications

PhD in AI/Data Science 10 plus years of experience in AI/ML, with 3+ years in applied GenAI or LLM-based solutions. Deep expertise in prompt engineering, finetuning, RAG, GraphRAG, vector databases (e.g., AWS Knowledge Base / Elastic), and multi-modal models. Proven experience with cloud-native AI development (AWS SageMaker, Bedrock, MLFlow on EKS). Strong programming skills in Python and ML libraries (Transformers, LangChain, etc.). Deep understanding of Gen AI system patterns and architectural best practices, Evaluation Frameworks Demonstrated ability to work in cross-functional agile teams. Need Github Code Repository Link for each candidate. Preferred Qualifications

Published contributions or patents in AI/ML/LLM domains. Hands-on experience with enterprise AI governance and ethical deployment frameworks. Familiarity with CI/CD practices for ML Ops and scalable inference APIs. Must Have Qualifications

Must have hands-on experience with machine learning transitioned into GenAI. Rag, Python Jupyter, other Software knowledge, using agents in workflows, strong understanding of data. Preferred: Built AI agent, MCP, A2A, Graph Rag, deployed Gen AI applications to production. Kanak IT is an equal opportunity employer.
