• Ph.D. or Master's degree from a reputable institution in a quantitative discipline such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, or Engineering.
• 5+ years' experience in creating predictive models, and generative AI solutions using LLM prompt engineering.
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs, Python libraries like Pandas, Num Py, scikit-learn, and others for data manipulation, modeling and analysis.
• In-depth knowledge of advanced machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression, XGBoost, Deep Neural Networks (CNN and RNN), clustering, and recommendation systems, with expertise in model design, hyperparameter tuning, and responsible deployment practices.
• Demonstrated experience in model interpretability and explainability for complex models such as XGBoost and GBM; experience extending these methods to deep learning architectures (CNNs, RNNs, transformers) is a strong plus.
• Familiarity with large language models (LLMs) and their applications, including experience in fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and responsible deployment with appropriate safeguards, monitoring, and auditability.
• Proficiency in Python, Tensor Flow, PyTorch, Spark, or Scala, coupled with experience in big data technologies such as Hadoop, AWS, and Hive, and familiarity with MLOps tooling that supports model monitoring, drift detection, and end-to-end auditability.

• Strong expertise, interest, and track record of performing cutting-edge research on Gen-AI
• Proven track record in designing, building, and deploying high-quality machine learning models in production environments, demonstrating a strong ability to translate theoretical concepts into practical applications.
• Demonstrated expertise in data wrangling and model building on a distributed Cloud computation environment (with stability, scalability and efficiency). GPU experience is desired.
• Strong ownership and execution; proven experience in implementing models in production.
