Generative AI: Hands-on experience with LLMs, Hugging Face, LangChain, and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Milvus, Chroma).
Cloud Platforms: Extensive experience deploying models on AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock), Azure, or GCP.
Problem-Solving: Proven ability to solve complex technical issues and manage ambiguity in fast-paced, product-driven environments.
Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications:
Any post-graduate in Computer Science or related degree.
Experience in designing Agentic AI solutions.
Familiarity with Responsible AI practices, fairness, and bias mitigation.
Background in Computer Vision or Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Key Competencies Needed:
Builder Mentality: Pragmatic, resourceful, and iterative approach to development.
Strategic Thinking: Ability to evaluate build vs. buy decisions based on cost, effort, and risk.
Technical Influence: Capable of influencing peers and management toward effective technical solutions.
