About the Role We are seeking a proactive AI/ML Engineer to design and implement the intelligent systems that will power a custom platform being built from the ground up. You will work directly with the company owner and development team (other contractors) to ensure all AI-assisted workflows, self-improvements, recommendation engines, classification logic, and machine learning requirements are properly designed and implemented. The platform will include AI-assisted user guidance, intelligent solutions, engines and mechanisms, systematic classification, recommendation systems, structured data extraction, and future machine-learning enhancements. This is a project-based contractor engagement, focused on the design and delivery of a product and extends into a full product release based on the provisioned stages: Stages: A) Design & Architecture, B) MVP development, C) Full Product Release We expect the contractor to commit to the full process. (Payments will be based on full completion) All source codes and IP will be owned by the company. Responsibilities Design and implement intelligent systems, recommendation engines, algorithms, classification logic, and AI-assisted workflows. Develop AI-powered mechanisms that assist users in completing forms, answering free-text questions, navigating workflows, generating recommendations, and improving platform usability. Design, evaluate, and implement Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions, semantic search, embeddings, vector-search, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Large Language Model (LLM) integrations where appropriate. Develop structured and unstructured data processing pipelines, including extraction, classification, normalization, enrichment, scoring, and validation of user-provided information. Design and implement intelligent mechanisms. Develop confidence scoring, recommendation results, methodologies, explainability mechanisms, and AI-assisted decision support features. Collaborate with other contractors (Architects, Full-Stack Developers, UI/UX Designers), and other contributors to ensure AI capabilities are properly integrated throughout the platform. Recommend and evaluate the most appropriate AI/ML models, frameworks, tools, APIs, infrastructure, and deployment approaches based on business requirements. Design testing methodologies, evaluation criteria, benchmark datasets, validation procedures, and continuous improvement mechanisms for AI components. Participate in architecture, design, and technical planning discussions throughout all project stages. Document model assumptions, algorithms, workflows, evaluation methods, training approaches, limitations, and future enhancement opportunities. Collaborate directly with the company owner and project team to ensure milestones are achieved and requirements are fully implemented.
