Join Elixirr Digital as an AI/LLM Ops Engineer, where you will drive innovation and help shape the future of intelligent systems for clients across industries like banking, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, consumer goods, and more.

What will you be doing as an AI/LLM Ops Engineer at Elixirr Digital? 

  • Design, build, and maintain LLM/agent pipelines: from prototyping to fine-tuning, deployment, monitoring, and scaling.
  • Design and deploy agentic systems and orchestration frameworks leveraging LangChain, AutoGen, or other agent-oriented architectures to enable scalable, reliable automation. 
  • Implement and operationalize RAG pipelines including document ingestion, embedding generation, context chunking, and vector database integration for optimized retrieval and knowledge management.
  • Monitor model performance (latency, accuracy, drift), ensure reliability and robustness. 
  • Ensure security, and infrastructure scalability (cloud / GPU / TPU etc.). 
  • Innovate: explore research, new frameworks, agentic capabilities; prototype internal tools; help improve process & tooling.

Competencies and skillset we expect you to have to successfully perform your job:  

  • Strong experience in ML Ops / LLM Ops / AI Ops or similar roles. 
  • Hands-on with LLMs: fine-tuning, deployment, building agentic solutions. 
  • Practical experience with agent frameworks/tools (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen, Crew, Swarm, etc.). 
  • Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), orchestration, CI/CD pipelines. 
  • Proven track record of optimizing model performance, managing latency, monitoring, drift detection, logging (Ragas, DeepEval, LangSmith). 
  • Comfortable scripting/programming in Python (plus automation tooling). 
  • Experience with multi-modal agents or models (text, image, audio). 
  • Prior work with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, etc.), retrieval or knowledge store architectures.

We could be a perfect fit if you are:

  • Passionate about technology. You anticipate, recognize, and resolve technical problems using a variety of specialized tools for application development and support.
  • Independent. You are a self-motivated and ambitious individual, capable of managing multiple responsibilities effectively.
  • Problem-solver. You think creatively and find solutions to complex challenges.
  • Creative and outside-the-box thinker. You look beyond blog posts and whitepapers, competitions, and even state-of-the-art benchmarks to solve real-world problems.
  • Communicator. Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential to ensure effective collaboration and timely delivery of results within the team.
  • Proficient in English. We work across continents in a global environment, so fluent English, both written and spoken is a must.
