- Help implement robust ML pipelines and production‑grade infrastructure to support high‑volume workloads
- Help prototype AI/ML algorithms and techniques to drive innovation
- Monitor model performance, scalability, and cost in production, and drive continuous optimization
- Advocate for responsible AI—focusing on fairness, transparency, and data privacy
- Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 1+ years in technology or software development, with experience in ML/AI and Data Science roles.
- Technical comprehension of Classical AI/ML algorithms, deep learning, Natural Language Understanding and Processing, Generative AI such as GPT and BERT, Large Language Model, Lang Chain and Lang Graph.
- Proven track record developing and deploying scalable AI/ML systems and pipelines in production using AWS.
- Proficiency in Python and a working knowledge of JVM language/services.
- Proficiency in working with SQL and non‑SQL data.
- Experience with at least one major ML framework (e.g., Tensor Flow, PyTorch) is preferred.
- Some experience taking models from prototype to production.
