🚀 Hiring : Architect (.NET) — AI Platform
Experience : 10–15+ years (3–5+ years AI / ML platforms)
Location : Bengaluru / Mysuru / Pune / Kochi
Employment Type : Full-time
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on . NET Architect to lead the end-to-end design and delivery of an AI-driven platform. This platform powers recommendation engines, NLP search, LLM / SLM integrations, data scraping, and large-scale systems across web, mobile, and messaging channels—with computer vision use cases included.
What You’ll Do
- Own the platform architecture on .NET (C#, ASP.NET Core) and cloud-native services (Azure / AWS / GCP)
- Ship AI search & recommendations with candidate generation, re-ranking, A / B testing, and pipelines
- Integrate large language models (LLMs) & small language models (SLMs) with prompt orchestration and guardrails
- Design NLP search combining lexical, semantic, vector retrieval, and relevance evaluation
- Build and serve computer vision pipelines (OCR, similarity, detection, moderation) at scale
- Guide front-end architecture for AI UX (React, Next.js, TypeScript) focusing on performance and telemetry
- Lead mobile AI experiences (.NET MAUI, React Native, Swift / Kotlin), including on-device inference
- Design messaging assistants for WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, SMS with workflows and analytics
- Oversee data scraping, ingestion, and normalization with ethical and compliant practices
- Ensure non-functional excellence : scalability, resiliency, security, latency, compliance, observability
- Mentor engineers, run design reviews and RFCs, and produce reference implementations and playbooks
