    • Adaptability: Willingness to learn and adapt to changing business needs, requirements, and emerging technologies.

    AI/ML Engineering

    • Machine Learning & AI Systems: Strong Python skills for building, training, and deploying both traditional ML models and modern AI applications — including LLM-based systems, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows. Proficiency in feature extraction/transformation and model selection, training, and evaluation.

    • GenAI Tooling: Experience with LangChain and LangGraph for building agentic/AI workflows, and working with LLM APIs such as the Claude and OpenAI SDKs. Experience self-hosting and serving models with vLLM is a plus.

    • API Development: Proficiency building and serving APIs with FastAPI, using Pydantic for data validation and schema enforcement.

    • Statistical & Mathematical Rigor: Solid grounding in statistical methods and experimental design (e.g., hypothesis testing, regression, causal inference) to validate models and ensure sound decision-making.

    • MLOps/LLMOps: Experience deploying, monitoring, and maintaining models and AI systems in production, using tools such as MLflow (experiment tracking) and LangSmith/LangFuse (LLM tracing and evaluation).

    Data Engineering

    • Data Modeling: Discover and characterize source data systems, understand and model the underlying business concepts, and build data models that organize data to meet operational and reporting needs.

    • Database Development & Optimization: Proficiency with databases (T-SQL, NoSQL) — writing and optimizing tables, queries, and indexes for scalability, reliability, and performance.

    • ETL/ELT Pipelines: Design and implement pipelines to move and transform data between systems.

    • Big Data / Data Warehousing: Experience with data warehousing concepts and platforms like Databricks; familiarity with Spark and Python for large-scale data processing.

    • Cloud Platforms: Knowledge of cloud services, particularly Azure, for scalable data storage and processing.

    • Data Governance & Security: Awareness of data quality, privacy, security, and compliance best practices.

    Education & Qualification Requirements

    • Degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a similar field; Master's degree a plus.

    • 3–5 years of experience as a data engineer, ML engineer, AI engineer, AI infrastructure engineer, or in a similar role.
