What You’ll Do

• Build & Prototype AI Solutions: Develop and evaluate ML models, LLM-powered applications, or agentic AI workflows for a scoped business problem. Document methodology, assumptions, and trade-offs while completing a scoped analysis or prototype, then clearly translate results into actionable recommendations.
• Develop Reproducible AI/Data Workflows: Build and document reproducible datasets, training pipelines, or evaluation harnesses. Define and document cleaning, feature engineering, prompt/evaluation, and validation processes to ensure scalability and reliability, while building reproducible datasets or pipelines.
• Package & Communicate Results: Deliver a final package (summary, visuals, code/notebook, model card, runbook). Present key insights, limitations, risks, and recommended next steps to both technical and business stakeholders, and deliver a final package including summaries, visuals, and supporting code or documentation.
• Collaborate across the organization — partnering with data scientists, engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders to scope problems and ship solutions.
