• Evaluate and apply appropriate techniques, including LLM and non-LLM approaches
• Develop testing and evaluation pipelines for AI/ML systems
• Create unit and integration tests for AI-enabled workflows and data pipelines
• Generate and use synthetic data for evaluation and benchmarking
• Improve system performance, including accuracy, latency, and cost efficiency
• Support deployment of AI/ML applications in hybrid cloud environments
• Work with containerized applications to ensure reliable deployment and updates
• Optimize systems for environments with limited computational resources
• Deliver production-grade systems aligned with requirements
• Document system designs, workflows, and technical decisions
• Stay current with AI/ML advancements and apply them within project constraints

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, or a related field

Preferred Qualifications

• At least 3 years of experience in data science, machine learning, or applied AI development
