About the role

You will build and own scoped AI service features within the Mind.AI platform. You work within the architecture set by the Lead AI Engineer, take feature specifications and deliver production-quality implementations: a chunking strategy module, a guardrail model integration, an embedding pipeline stage, a RAGAS metric computation job. You are expected to work independently within scope - take ownership, write tests, benchmark your work, and ship to the Lead's quality bar.
You have built ML or AI features in production before. You know that a model that scores well in a notebook evaluation is not done - it needs to be packaged, served, monitored, and maintained. You are comfortable with the full lifecycle from experiment to production deployment.
