- Strong proficiency in Python and experience developing maintainable, production-quality code.
- Solid understanding of ML and deep learning fundamentals, including model training, evaluation, feature engineering, versioning, and deployment.
- Experience with ML frameworks and libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn, and with at least one ML orchestration tool: Apache Airflow, Kubeflow Pipelines, or Prefect.
- Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP and managed AI/ML services.
- Experience with Docker, basic Kubernetes operations, and CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins.
- Experience building, deploying, monitoring, or troubleshooting ML pipelines and production workflows.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, debugging, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog.
- Familiarity with experiment tracking and model management tools such as MLflow or Weights & Biases.
- Experience with infrastructure as code and configuration management using Terraform or Ansible.
- Familiarity with feature stores such as Feast or Tecton.
- Experience with internal developer tools, SDKs, and self-service platform capabilities.
- Knowledge of NLP, computer vision, speech processing, reinforcement learning, or Generative AI.
- Experience in government, regulated, or large enterprise environments.
