• MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or a related field.
• Hands‑on AI experience spanning generative AI, agentic systems, supervised and unsupervised learning, and classical regression and classification.
• Strong mathematical foundation in linear algebra, calculus, probability, and statistics.
• Experience building and deploying models at scale in distributed or cloud‑native environments.
• Ability to drive projects independently and collaborate effectively across technical and non‑technical teams.
• Sharp, motivated, and focused on making a real impact.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency in Python; experience with JavaScript, Java, or Scala is a plus.
