Technical Lead - AI/ML

Experience Level: 6+ Years
Location: Chennai, Hybrid
About Giggso
At Giggso, we bridge the gap between high-level AI strategy and code-level execution. We build context-aware, secure enterprise AI engineering solutions across core Business Operations (Sales, Support, RevOps) and AI Security Operations.
Moving far beyond basic RAG and static prompts, Giggso builds foundational Data & Knowledge Layers—turning raw unstructured data and enterprise ontologies into trustworthy, audit-ready AI agents. From multi-modal agentic architectures to proactive AI red teaming and security guardrails, Giggso ensures enterprise AI operates reliably at scale.
Role Overview
We are seeking a high-ownership, hands-on AI/LLM Engineering Tech Lead to drive the technical execution of our core AI platforms. In this role, you will bridge deep architectural vision with direct code-level execution. You will lead an agile engineering pod building enterprise-grade Agentic Workflows, Knowledge Graphs, and AI Security Safeguards.
If you are driven by passion and innovation, determined to bend the limits to build something truly transformative — this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
Architectural Leadership & Pod Execution
Lead an engineering pod (AI/ML Engineers, Full-Stack Developers, and DevOps) to ship low-latency, production-ready AI features.
Translate high-level blueprints into actionable technical specifications, clean codebases, and sprint backlogs.
Enforce engineering excellence through code reviews, automated CI/CD testing protocols, and robust error-handling standards.
Hands-On Agentic & Knowledge Systems Development
Architect & Code: Build multi-modal LLM workflows and autonomous agentic systems using modern orchestration frameworks.
Knowledge Layer Integration: Implement knowledge graphs, dynamic ontologies, and advanced vector retrieval strategies (Hybrid Search, GraphRAG, Re-ranking) that go beyond standard naive RAG.
AI Security & Guardrails: Deploy active safeguards against prompt injection, model jailbreaks, hallucination, and data leakage using core AI Security principles.
Production MLOps, Eval & Performance
LLM Ops: Build automated pipelines for continuous model evaluation (e.g., RAGAS, TruLens), dynamic prompt versioning, and latency tracking.
Cost & Throughput Optimization: Optimize token consumption, context window management, caching, and model inference costs across multi-cloud deployments.
Observability: Monitor model drift, data distribution shifts, and edge-case execution in live enterprise production environments.
Cross-Functional Execution
Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Solution Architects, and client teams to resolve complex edge cases and accelerate feature delivery.
Serve as a technical mentor, elevating team execution standards and unblocking complex algorithmic or system challenges daily.
Required Qualifications:
Education & Experience:
Experience: 5+ years of core software engineering experience, including 3+ years specifically architecting and delivering AI/ML or LLM-based products into production.
Leadership: Proven track record leading agile pods, conducting technical design reviews, and mentoring developers.
Education: Master’s in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or equivalent practical experience demonstrated through shipped products or open-source contributions and professional certifications.
Technical Stack Requirements:
Languages & Core CS: Strong mastery of Python (FastAPI, PyDantic, Asyncio) with familiarity in TypeScript, Go, or Java.
Agentic Frameworks & AI Stack: Hands-on experience with modern LLM orchestration tools (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, LangChain, LlamaIndex), PyTorch, Hugging Face, and major LLM Provider APIs.
Vector Engines & Knowledge Graphs: Direct working experience with vector databases (Qdrant, Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate) and Knowledge Graph technologies (Neo4j, RDF/Ontologies).
AI Security & Guardrails: Familiarity with adversarial prompt testing, red teaming concepts, and guardrail implementation.
MLOps & Infra: Practical experience with Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, MLflow, Weights & Biases, and serverless AI infrastructure on AWS/GCP/Azure.
Soft Skills:
Strong technical articulation and communication skills to engage with technical stakeholders, understand requirements, and present engineering solutions cleanly.
