Job Location: Pune

Technical Delivery Lead / Tech PM - AI Solutions POD (ML + Gen AI, RAG)

Exp: 8 - 10+ years in technology delivery, including AI/ML initiatives

Role Summary:

We need a hands-on Technical Delivery Lead/Tech PM to drive delivery for an AI solutions Pod building production-grade AI capabilities (ML and Gen AI), including RAG-based solutions. The role requires someone who can plan and deliver based on component interactions (data --> embeddings/vector stores --> retrieval --> LLM orchestration --> evaluation --> deployment), set guardrails, and guide decisions on when ML/Gen AI is appropriate vs when it isnt.

This person should be trusted to represent the pod in senior forums and be able to run delivery across multiple pods/squads when needed.

Key responsibilites:

1. Own end-to-end delivery of AI based solutions: roadmap, milestones, dependency management, delivery governance across 1-2+ pods
2. solution planning based on architecture: create delivery plans that reflect how components integrate (data ingestion, vectorization, retrieval, model endpoints, orchestration, UI/API,monitoring)
3. Stakeholder Leadership: represent the team in architecture reviews, governance and senior stakeholder updates, provide crisp reporting and decision options.
4. Delivery excellence: manage risks, NFRs (latency, resilience, security), release planning, production readiness, incident learnings
5. Technical oversight of ML+Gen AI:

                        - Differentiate and select approaches: classical ML vs Gen AI vs hybrid patterns (eg: RAG + ML ranking / classification)

                         - Define where ML adds value (prediction, scoring, classification) and where Gen AI adds value (generation, summization, extraction, conversational interfaces)

1. RAG delivery Leadership

                              - Chunking strategies, embedding model selection, indexing, retrieval patterns, reranking, citation/attribution, freshness updates

                                - work with teams on relevance evaluation and hallucination reduction patterns

1. Guardrails and controls

           - Define Guardrails for data usage, sensitive data handling, access controls, content safety, prompt/response filtering, and human-in-the-loop where required

              - Drive policies/standards for model usage, tool access, logging, monitoring, and approval gates

**Must have experience and capabilities:**

1. 8-10+ years in technical delivery / engineering-led programme delivery
2. Proven delivery of multiple AI use cases into production (not only POCs)
3. Hands-on technical comfort: able to work with engineers on design decisions, challenge approaches, and translate requirements into implementable epics/stories
4. strong understanding of

                                           - ML Lifecycle (data prep, training/validation, bias considerations, evaluation, deployment, monitoring drift)

                                           - GenAI Lifecycle (model selection, orchestration, prompt strategies at a high level, evaluation, safety)

                                           - RAG Patterns (vector stores, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, grounding, citations)

1. Working knowledge of cloud architecture and CI/CD for AI systems (MLOps/ LLMOps concepts)
2. Solid grounding in data engineering concepts: data quality, data lineage, metadata, batch/stream ingestion, access controls.

**Preferred skills:**

1. Experience with model risk / governance in regulated environments
2. Familiarity with vector databases and search (eg: Elasticsearch/opensearch vector, Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector - depending on bank standards)
3. Ability to define and track AI KPIs: accuracy/relevance, latency, cost per request, adoption, defect leakage, incidents

**What success looks like (outcome-based)**

- AI solutions shipped with measurable business impact, not just demos

- clear, realistic plans that account for data readiness + integration complexity

- Guardrails and controls in place so solutions are safe, compliant, and supportable

- Stakeholders trust the lead to make decisions and keep delivery moving
