- Curiosity & Continuous Learning: Passion for exploring emerging technologies and integrating innovative approaches into problem-solving.
- Team Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Ability to work cross-functionally, support peers, and contribute to a collaborative team environment.
- Clear Communication: Confidence in explaining technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Cloud & MLOps (a plus): Familiarity with platforms like Google Cloud (GCP), Vertex AI, BigQuery, Airflow, and principles of MLOps for scalable ML deployment.
- Version Control & CI/CD (a plus): Knowledge of Git best practices and continuous integration/delivery workflows.
- API Development & Integration (a plus): Experience building applications and integrating APIs using frameworks like FastAPI or Flask.
- Deep Learning & Unstructured Data (a plus): Exposure to deep learning architectures (e.g. CNN, RNN, Transformers) and handling of unstructured datasets.
- NLP & LLMs (a plus): Understanding of Natural Language Processing and experience with Large Language Models, including fine-tuning, RAG, and orchestration frameworks like LangChain.
- Clean Code & Software Principles: Ability to write modular, testable, and maintainable code using object-oriented principles.
- Fluent English Proficiency: Strong written and spoken communication skills in English.
