How will you power what’s possible?

• Data Preparation and Analysis:
  Using Python and other programming languages/tools, collect, clean, preprocess, and transform large datasets to ensure quality and relevance for model training.
• Model Development and Optimization:
  Designing, building, training, and testing ML models. Deploy these models in production environments using frameworks like Tensor Flow, Keras, etc.
• System Integration:
  Collaborating with cross‑functional teams to integrate AI/ML models into existing applications and APIs, including RestAPIs.
• Deployment and Monitoring:
  Assisting in the deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of models in production environments (often cloud‑based platforms like Google Cloud and Azure).
• Experimentation and Documentation:
  Running AI system experiments, analyzing results, documenting findings, and refining models based on performance metrics.
• Collaboration and Communication:
  Working with cross‑functional teams and stakeholders to understand business problems and communicating technical concepts and results effectively to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Staying Current:
  Keeping abreast of the latest AI/ML trends, tools, and best practices, including generative AI and MLOps.

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science, statistics, mathematics, or a related field is typically required; a master’s degree is often preferred.
• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python (including libraries like pandas, Num Py, scikit‑learn, etc.) and SQL. Experience with other languages like R or Java is a plus.
• Strong foundation in mathematics and statistics (probability, linear algebra, algorithms); experience with ML frameworks and libraries (Tensor Flow, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit‑learn); clear understanding of MLOps practices and the full ML lifecycle.
• Solid understanding of machine learning models and deep‑learning architectures (e.g., neural networks, decision trees) and familiarity with frameworks like Tensor Flow, PyTorch, and Keras.
• Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (e.g., Google Cloud, Azure) for model deployment and scaling.
• Certifications:
  
  Visualization focus, ML or Generative AI focus, Cloud and scaling focus (Gemini, Vertex AI preferred).
• Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills; effective time management and self‑discipline (crucial for part‑time, flexible roles); excellent communication and collaboration skills; curiosity and a desire for continuous learning.
• Technical skills:
  Python, SQL, VB Script, Java, Power Shell, Cloud shell (Unix‑Linux), proficiency with Microsoft tools (e.g. Co‑pilot), ABBYY, C#, .Net, SOAP & REST API, R, Vertex AI.
