Requirements

• Strong knowledge of supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms.
• Solid working knowledge of deep learning.
• Proven experience with forecasting techniques.
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying end-to-end machine learning solutions.
• Hands-on proficiency in Python and SQL.
• A keen, curious, and self-driven attitude - comfortable getting hands dirty with deep-dive analytics, thinking outside the box, and exploring datasets to surface relevant use cases.
• Familiarity with Generative AI and Agentic AI frameworks, with at least proof-of-concept (PoC) level experience working with the latest trends in the industry.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Experience with cloud platforms [AWS / Azure / GCP].
• Familiarity with MLOps tooling and practices (e. g., model versioning, CI/CD for ML, monitoring).
• Experience with big data technologies [Spark, Databricks, etc. ].
• [Bachelor's / Master's / PhD] in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.

Key Skills

• Machine Learning: Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Deep Learning, Forecasting.
• Programming and Data: Python, SQL, Data Wrangling.
• ML Engineering: End-to-End ML Solution Development, Model Deployment, Production Monitoring.
• Emerging AI: Generative AI, Agentic AI Frameworks, Rapid Prototyping (PoCs).
• Analytics and Mindset: Exploratory Data Analysis, Deep-Dive Analytics, Problem Solving, Curiosity, Out-of-the-Box Thinking.
