Ensure ML systems are scalable and maintainable
Collaborate with data scientists to productionize models
Collaborate closely with researchers, software developers, and upstream AI/ML communities
Mentor and guide other team members

What you will bring
Experience in AI development, deep learning, machine learning libraries (e.g. pytorch, scikit-learn), prompt engineering, and/or fundamental mathematics
Experience in feature engineering
Experience in Go or Python development
Experience in Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker, or other cloud-native technologies
Experience in agile development, Jira, and Git
Ability to quickly learn and use new tools and technologies
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

The following skills are valued and may influence team placement:
Masters or PhD in Machine Learning (ML) or Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Active participation in KServe, TrustyAI, Kubeflow, or other open source communities
Specialized expertise in specific AI domains (NLP, Computer Vision, MLOps, etc.)
