About ByChat FinOps
ByChat FinOps is a production-ready B2B AI platform that helps organizations understand, analyze, and optimize cloud infrastructure costs across AWS.
Our platform combines cloud billing data with Generative AI, enabling users to ask natural language questions such as:
Why did our cloud costs increase this month?
Which services generate the highest expenses?
Will we exceed our budget next quarter?
Where can we reduce infrastructure costs?<\/p>\n
Behind the scenes, intelligent LLM Agents work with cloud APIs, read-only SQL queries, billing datasets, forecasting models, anomaly detection algorithms, and FinOps analytics to deliver accurate, explainable business insights.
ByChat FinOps is an actively growing production product where AI reliability, security, scalability, and measurable business value are our highest priorities.<\/p>\n
About the Role
We are looking for a Senior \/ Lead ML Consultant to support our engineering team on a part-time basis and provide expert guidance on the architecture, development, evaluation, and optimization of our AI\/ML capabilities.
This is primarily an advisory and technical leadership role rather than a full-time hands-on engineering position.
You will work closely with our AI\/ML engineers and technical team, review existing approaches and processes, identify potential risks and inefficiencies, and provide practical recommendations for improving the quality, reliability, and efficiency of our AI systems.
We expect you to act as a senior technical advisor and sparring partner for the team, helping us validate technical decisions and ensure that our ML\/LLM practices meet production-grade standards.<\/p>\n
What You'll Do
Your responsibilities will include:
Review the architecture and implementation of our AI\/ML and LLM-based solutions.
Provide regular technical feedback to AI\/ML engineers and help validate key engineering decisions.
Review existing ML\/LLM development processes and recommend improvements.
Evaluate the effectiveness, reliability, and scalability of current AI workflows.
Advise the team on the design of LLM Agents, sub-agents, tool calling, structured outputs, and agentic workflows.
Review approaches to prompt engineering, context management, guardrails, validation, retries, and hallucination mitigation.
Assess and improve LLM evaluation methodologies, automated testing, golden datasets, and quality metrics.
Advise on AI observability, tracing, monitoring, and production quality control.
Review Text-to-SQL approaches and help ensure safe and reliable interaction with financial datasets.
Provide guidance on anomaly detection, forecasting, and other ML components used within the platform.
Identify performance bottlenecks and opportunities to optimize LLM latency, token usage, infrastructure usage, and operational cost.
Help the team evaluate new AI\/ML technologies, frameworks, models, and architectural approaches before introducing them into production.
Participate in technical discussions and architecture reviews for complex AI-related features.
Mentor engineers and help strengthen the team's ML\/LLM engineering practices.
Help establish practical engineering standards and best practices for building production-grade AI systems.<\/p>\n
