About the Job
The Data And AI team is a highly focused effort to lead digital-first execution and transformation at Red Hat leveraging data & AI strategically for our customers, partners, and associates. The engineering team is focused on building and delivering strategic AI agents & MCP Servers built on our Data & AI platform, designed to augment human capabilities, accelerate business workflows, and scale operations across the enterprise.
In this role, you'll take ownership of end-to-end ML systems, champion best practices, and deliver impactful, production-grade models. Youll work autonomously, mentor others, and collaborate with data, engineering, and product teams to bring AI & agentic capabilities into production.
What You Will Do
- GenAI Development: Lead the research and implementation of advanced algorithms and tools for NLP/GenAI tasks. Drive the development of next-generation AI/ML applications in a highly collaborative environment.
- Solution Delivery: Contribute to the design, implementation, and delivery of AI platform capabilities & agentic solutions from concept to production.
- Build ML/NLP Pipelines: Design, build, and evolve ML pipelines that cover data ingestion, preprocessing, feature engineering, training, validation, deployment, and monitoring. Ensure the successful training and evaluation of NLP models, refining them based on statistical analysis.
- Productionize Models: Translate research prototypes and models into production-quality code, ensuring robustness, scalability, and maintainability.
- Model Evaluation & Tuning: Select appropriate algorithms and modeling techniques, perform hyperparameter tuning, and conduct comparative experimentation. Evaluate and validate model performance using advanced metrics (e.g., ROC-AUC, precision/recall curves, calibration, fairness, drift) and set up continuous validation/regression checks.
- Build & Operate Systems: Design, build, and evolve MCP servers and Agents that enable and empower Red Hatters to do business efficiently. Instrument models and systems with monitoring, logging, alerting, and automated healing or scaling mechanisms.
