• Strong understanding of CI/CD automation tools, GitHub workflows, and SQL/database design.
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, testable, well-documented code.
• Experience working with AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude).

What You’ll Bring

• Experience transforming research or prototype code into production-quality software.
• Familiarity with distributed systems, scalability patterns, and performance optimization.
• Experience with containerization, cloud deployment, or infrastructure-as-code workflows.
• Background in research, innovation teams, or model-deployment pipelines.
• Understanding of AI governance, ML testing frameworks, and responsible-AI principles.
• Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent expertise is a plus.
• Contributions to open-source projects or a strong public portfolio.
• Knowledge of inference optimization or productionizing machine learning systems.
