Work you’ll do 

The Generative AI Engineer will, as part of several client delivery teams, be responsible for developing, designing, and maintaining cutting-edge AI-based systems, ensuring smooth and engaging user experiences. Additionally, the Generative AI Engineer will participate in a wide variety of Natural Language Processing activities, including refining and optimizing prompts to improve the outcome of Large Language Models (LLMs), and code and design review. The kinds of activities performed by the Prompt Engineer will also include, but not be limited to:

Working across client teams to develop and architect Generative AI solutions using ML and GenAIDeveloping and promoting standards across the communityEvaluating and selecting appropriate AI tools and machine learning models for tasks, as well as building and training working versions of those models using Python and other open-source technologiesWorking with leadership and stakeholders to identify AI opportunities and promote strategy.Developing and conducting trainings for users across the Government & Public Services landscape on principles used to develop models and how to interact with models to facilitate their business processes.Building and prioritizing backlog for future machine-learning enabled features to support client business processes.You'll design and build generative models, selecting the most suitable architecture (e.g., GANs, VAEs) based on the desired output (text, images, code). This involves writing code using Python libraries like TensorFlow or PyTorch.Once your model is built, you'll train it on the prepared data, fine-tuning hyperparameters to achieve optimal performance. You'll then evaluate the model's outputs to assess its effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.You'll collaborate with other engineers to integrate your generative AI solution into existing systems or develop new applications. This might involve deploying the model on cloud platforms for scalability.The field of generative AI is rapidly evolving. Staying abreast of the latest research, advancements, and ethical considerations in AI development is an ongoing process.
