The Opportunity
Green Com Enterprise Solutions Limited is establishing an Artificial Intelligence & Emerging Technologies capability to develop secure, practical and enterprise-grade AI solutions for government, regulatory and enterprise organizations.
We are seeking a highly hands-on Senior AI Engineer / AI Technical Lead who will play a foundational role in building this capability.
This is not purely a management position. The successful candidate will be expected to architect solutions, write code, build prototypes, deploy AI applications, mentor engineers and help transform business requirements into production-ready AI systems.
Key Responsibilities
The successful candidate will:
Lead the technical establishment of Green Com's AI capability.
Design and develop production-grade AI and machine-learning solutions.
Build applications using Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings and vector databases.
Design AI solutions for document processing, knowledge management, analytics, workflow automation and enterprise systems.
Integrate AI capabilities with existing enterprise applications, APIs, databases and identity-management systems.
Design secure AI architectures for cloud, hybrid and on-premise environments.
Establish standards for AI security, model evaluation, testing, monitoring and responsible AI.
Evaluate commercial and open-source AI models and recommend appropriate technologies for different use cases.
Develop AI proof-of-concepts and convert successful prototypes into production solutions.
Mentor Green com software developers and help develop internal AI engineering capability.
Participate in technical presentations, demonstrations, proposals and AI consultancy engagements.
Contribute technical input to AI tenders and proposals.
Research emerging AI technologies and advise management on commercially relevant opportunities.
Technical Competencies
Candidates should demonstrate strong practical knowledge of:
Python and modern software-engineering practices
Machine learning and deep-learning fundamentals
Large Language Models
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Prompt and context engineering
Embeddings and vector search
AI agents and tool/function calling
Model and RAG evaluation
REST APIs and enterprise application integration
SQL and data engineering
Docker/containerization
Git and CI/CD
Cloud AI platforms, preferably Microsoft Azure
Authentication, authorization and enterprise security principles
AI privacy, security, guardrails and responsible AI
Classical machine-learning techniques (e.g. gradient boosting, classification/regression), not only deep learning and LLMs
Evaluation and observability tooling for AI systems (e.g. RAGAS, LangSmith, Azure AI Foundry evaluation)
Data engineering practices, including ETL/pipelines and data validation
AI-specific security practices, including prompt-injection defense, PII redaction, output filtering and audit logging
Experience with technologies such as Azure AI services, Azure OpenAI/OpenAI APIs, Hugging Face, PyTorch or TensorFlow, LangChain/LlamaIndex or equivalent frameworks, PostgreSQL/pgvector, Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate or similar technologies will be advantageous.
Candidates are not expected to have worked with every technology listed above. We are more interested in strong fundamentals, demonstrated engineering ability and the ability to select appropriate technologies for a problem.
Enterprise Experience
Experience in one or more of the following will be advantageous:
Government or public-sector systems
Enterprise ERP/workflow systems
Microsoft technology environments
Document and records-management systems
Business-process automation
Data analytics
Regulatory systems
Financial/payment systems
On-premise or hybrid enterprise deployments
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence or a related technical field.
Strong professional software-development or data-engineering experience.
5+ years of professional software-engineering experience, including demonstrable experience building AI/ML applications.
Experience mentoring or leading engineering teams, with the ability to guide technical direction and grow junior engineers.
Relevant Microsoft, Azure, AI or cloud certifications will be an added advantage but are not mandatory.
What We Will Assess
Shortlisted candidates should expect a practical AI engineering assessment and technical presentation.
Green com values demonstrated ability above knowledge of AI terminology. Candidates should be prepared to explain and defend the architecture, security, scalability and technical decisions behind solutions they have built.
The Person We Are Looking For
We are particularly interested in someone who:
Enjoys building, not merely managing.
Can move comfortably from experimentation to production engineering.
Understands that enterprise AI requires security, governance and reliability.
Can explain complex AI concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Can mentor other engineers.
Is curious and continuously experiments with emerging technologies.
Can challenge inappropriate uses of AI rather than applying AI to every problem.
Wants to help build an AI engineering capability from the ground up.
