AI Engineer – LLMs & Generative AI | Pharma Innovation | Remote |
A global pharmaceutical innovator is looking for a Freelance AI Engineer with deep expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI to build scalable, production-grade AI solutions that transform how scientific and clinical knowledge is accessed and applied.
You’ll work alongside data scientists, ML researchers, and domain experts to turn cutting-edge models into real-world tools that accelerate R&D and improve patient care.
What You'll Do :
- Architect and deploy LLM-powered applications (e.g. medical chatbots, document Q&A systems, insight generation tools)
- Implement advanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines with vector stores (e.g. FAISS, Weaviate, Pinecone)
- Optimise and fine-tune open-source or proprietary LLMs (e.g. LLaMA, Mistral, GPT-4) for pharma-specific use cases
- Ensure scalability, performance, and security of AI applications in production environments
- Collaborate with MLOps and DevOps to deploy models on cloud infrastructure (AWS / GCP / Azure)
Requirements :
