We are seeking technical and experienced AI Agentic Solutions Architects to join our advanced technology group. This role is dedicated to the hands-on design, development, and deployment of sophisticated Agentic AI solutions. You will be responsible for executing complex Proof of Concepts (PoCs) that demonstrate cutting-edge AI capabilities for our key customers. The role requires building and optimizing AI agents on high-performance Nvidia-based GPU infrastructure (including A100 and H100 systems) and leveraging Cognizant's proprietary ATK platform. The ideal candidate is a hands-on architect with a strong background in MLOps and extensive experience with modern agentic frameworks, advanced data semantics, and the Nvidia AI ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities
Architect, build, and optimize multi-agent AI solutions using frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and AutoGen.
Design and implement complex data ingestion and processing pipelines, ensuring robust data semantics for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures.
Develop and fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) and other foundational models using the Nvidia NeMo framework.
Deploy and manage high-throughput, low-latency model inference services using Nvidia Triton Inference Server.
Conduct performance profiling and optimization of AI workloads on Nvidia A100 and H100 Tensor Core GPUs.
Integrate and manage specialized vector databases such as Milvus, Pinecone, and Weaviate for high-dimensional data indexing and search.
Leverage Cognizant's ATK platform to orchestrate complex agentic workflows and ensure seamless integration with enterprise systems.
Collaborate with infrastructure teams to ensure optimal configuration of Kubernetes clusters for GPU-accelerated workloads.
