Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with AWS services such as S3, Lambda, and SageMaker

Experience with Generative AI Models, including building, fine-tuning, and deploying generative models

Deep understanding of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques like transformer models, attention mechanisms, tokenization, and embeddings

Experience mentoring or leading team members

Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

AWS certifications (Associate, Professional, or Specialty)

Knowledge of Reinforcement Learning, especially in how it applies to decision-making models

Experience with Computer Vision models and frameworks, including CNNs and GANs, particularly for image data use cases
