## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, AI/ML, or a related discipline.
 * Proficiency in Python - write clean, well-documented code and explain your logic.
 * Knowledge of the data-science lifecycle, big-data concepts, deep-learning fundamentals, and reinforcement-learning ideas.
 * Basic awareness of Generative AI capabilities such as large-language models (LLMs)
 * Demonstrated initiative and research mindset - comfortable navigating documentation, exploring new tools, and proposing ideas.
 * Strong problem-solving and communication skills; able to work with internal customers to gather requirements and provide clear status updates.

Desired Skills

 * Experience with LLM frameworks or APIs (e.g., LangChain, OpenAI, Cohere).
 * Exposure to MLOps fundamentals: CI/CD pipelines, model versioning, monitoring, Docker/Kubernetes.
 * Knowledge-graph or ontology work (SPARQL, embeddings, graph-based feature engineering).
 * Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and OpenShift.
 * Ability to quickly absorb new tools, applications, or approaches from documentation or public repositories and contribute ideas to the team.
 * Research-oriented mindset - conducting industry/academic research, networking with peers, and surfacing innovative strategies.
 * Breadth of interest or experience with diverse data-application domains (structured, unstructured, time-series, sensor, etc.).
