• Collaborate on AI solutions: Work closely with experienced AI engineers, data scientists, and software developers to integrate AI models into existing systems and build new AI-powered applications. Collaborate with cross-functional, autonomous teams for rapid and phased delivery.
• Contribute to software development: Participate in the full software development lifecycle, including design, coding, testing, and deployment, adhering to best practices and industry standards. Uphold clean architecture principles to ensure code maintainability, scalability, and flexibility.
• Analyze and interpret data: Analyze large datasets, identify patterns and trends, and derive insights to inform model development and business decisions.
• Stay current with AI advancements: Continuously learn and keep abreast of the latest research and trends in both traditional machine learning and generative AI.
• Communicate effectively: Clearly communicate technical concepts and findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Research and innovate: Contribute to an innovative culture through exploration, prototyping, and a willingness to take calculated risks.

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• Technical Skills:
  • Strong understanding of fundamental AI/ML concepts (e.g., supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, natural language processing).
  • Experience with Python and relevant AI/ML libraries (e.g., Keras, scikit-learn).
  • Familiarity with generative AI models and frameworks (e.g., transformers, GPT).
  • Proficiency in software engineering principles and practices.
  • Knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and databases.
• Soft Skills:
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in an autonomous and collaborative environment.
