ABOUT INCEDO
Incedo is a global AI and data transformation specialist, helping companies turn digital investment into sustainable business impact by  delivering ROI from AI@Scale . We are 4,000+ people across the US, Canada, Latin America and India, working with Fortune 500 enterprises and fast-growing clients in banking & payments, wealth management, telecom, hi-tech and life sciences.
Build what's next in AI, data and enterprise platforms
Our Platform & Solutions portfolio is where Incedo builds AI-native products for real enterprise problems:  Incedo Lighthouse  (AI-powered decision intelligence),  Data Xel  (agentic data modernization),  brAInspark  (agentic AI enablement),  Incedo Pay  (integrated payables),  Kratos  (regulatory compliance and data control for banking) and  DQXpert  (AI-powered data quality) — plus domain products across customer support, document processing, quality engineering, healthcare and financial services.
WHY THIS ROLE
This is a builder’s role with a leader’s remit. You will be hands-on in Python and model code most weeks — and the person the team’s work is measured through.
You decide what “production-ready” means here, and you explain the result to a stakeholder who does not care about your architecture — only whether they can act on it.

THE ROLE
As  Technical Lead – Data Science & Generative AI , you drive the design, development and deployment of machine learning, deep learning and generative AI solutions across Incedo’s platforms and client programmes.
You work alongside data scientists, data engineers and business stakeholders to ship  scalable, production-ready AI/ML applications , shape the technical roadmap for AI initiatives, and mentor the team that builds it.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
1. Models in production
Build, train, tune and deploy ML and deep learning models using Tensor Flow or PyTorch and scikit-learn.
Own model evaluation, optimisation, monitoring and governance — robustness, fairness, drift and scale, not just offline accuracy.
Do the unglamorous work well: preprocessing, wrangling and feature engineering with pandas and Num Py.
2. GenAI and LLM applications
Develop GenAI applications — conversational agents, summarisation, RAG pipelines, document intelligence.
Design retrieval and prompting strategies that hold up on messy enterprise data — and recognise when fine-tuning is the better answer.
Instrument outputs so quality is measurable rather than anecdotal.
3. Pipelines and engineering rigour
Partner with data engineering to design scalable data and model pipelines for training and inference.
Enforce reproducibility, testing and code quality across the team’s work.
4. Leadership and communication
Mentor data scientists, run technical reviews and promote coding excellence.
Present findings and AI strategy to non-technical stakeholders in language that drives a decision.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
6–10 years  in data science and applied AI, including experience leading a small technical team.
Expert Python:  advanced OOP, data structures, API design and testing.
Strong ML/DL delivery  with Tensor Flow and scikit-learn, and fluency in pandas and Num Py.
Practical LLM and GenAI experience:  Hugging Face Transformers, Lang Chain or Llama Index.
Solid statistical foundations:  regression, time-series, hypothesis testing and anomaly detection.
Communication that bridges  technical and business teams — clear, specific and actionable.
A proven mentoring record  and a bias for shipping over perfecting.
GOOD TO HAVE
PyTorch for advanced deep learning and LLM fine-tuning.
MLOps in practice: MLflow, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD.
Vector databases — FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate or Milvus.
Cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure, GCP) and big data frameworks (Spark, Hadoop).
Explainability and fairness tooling such as SHAP and LIME.
EDUCATION
B.Tech / M.Tech / M.S. in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics or a closely related technical discipline. Equivalent industry experience considered.
