  • Conduct research on emerging AI technologies and integrate state-of-the-art methodologies.

  • Develop and optimize RAG pipelines, agent architectures, and other LLM-powered systems

What You Bring:

  • 3+ years of experience in machine learning, deep learning, or applied AI.

  • Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or JAX.

  • Strong background in data manipulation with Pandas, NumPy, and Dask.

  • Experience with big data tools like Apache Spark, Hadoop, or Kafka.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Knowledge of MLOps tools like MLflow, TFX, SageMaker, or DataRobot.

  • Experience in early-stage environments or lean teams is a plus.

Technologies You’ll Work With: Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, scikit-learn, Kubernetes, Docker, MLflow, TFX, Kubeflow, FastAPI, Flask, SQL, NoSQL, Apache Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, Flink, Airflow, AWS (SageMaker, Lambda, S3), GCP (Vertex AI, BigQuery), Azure (ML Studio, Synapse).
