Industry experience in the software and vertical services are preferred. Our team of consultants is a smart and friendly team who enjoy working together in a collaborative and supportive work environment. **BPM India Advisory Service Private Limited** - Formerly known as “Burr Pilger Mayer India Private Limited”.

You'll be client-facing, working US hours from India or South America, and you'll partner with our prompt-development pod to take solutions from design to production. If you like solving real business problems with AI — not building demos — this is your seat. ### Key Responsibilities: - Scope, design, and deliver applied AI solutions — LLM workflows, RAG systems, agentic automation, and model evaluation — integrated into client and business systems. - Work directly with clients through discovery, solution design, demos, and delivery, translating business problems into AI that holds up in production. - Define patterns and specifications for the prompt-development pod to build against; review and guide their production builds. - Establish evaluation criteria and measure solution quality, accuracy, and ROI. - Advise clients on AI readiness, data, and responsible, safe deployment. - Contribute to Caravel's reusable AI accelerators and go-to-market offerings. ### Preferred Qualification - 4+ years in AI/ML, data science, or applied AI engineering, including hands-on work with LLMs in production or near-production settings. - Strong Python and modern AI tooling; experience with RAG, embeddings/vector stores, and at least one major LLM provider or framework. - Client-facing skills — you can lead a working session, explain trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders, and manage scope. - Fluent English and consistent overlap with US business hours. - A pragmatic, outcomes-first approach — you optimize for client value, not novelty. **Preferred Skills:** - Consulting or professional-services background. - Exposure to ERP/CRM platforms (NetSuite, Salesforce) or finance/operations data. - Experience standing up evaluation, observability, or guardrail frameworks. - Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and MLOps familiarity.
