This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical expertise with strong business acumen, and who thrives on building from 0 to 1.

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in applied AI/ML development (1-2 years with advanced STEM degree), with at least 2 years focusing on LLMs or NLP-related technologies.
• Demonstrated ability to convert business questions into deployable ML solutions and explain results to non-experts.
• Proven success owning and delivering cross-functional AI/LLM projects from start to finish.
• Proficient in Python (pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow, Langchain etc), SQL, and version control.
• Solid grounding in supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning techniques plus model-evaluation best practices.
• Hands-on experience fine-tuning or integrating LLMs such as GPT, LLaMA, Claude, Gemini, etc.
