• Expertise in data engineering, machine learning, and cloud computing (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
• Deep understanding of LLMs (Large Language Models), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and autonomous/agentic AI systems.
• Demonstrated ability to build and scale intelligent agents or AI-driven decision support systems.
• Strong problem-solving, system design, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or related field.
• Prior experience leading teams in AI/ML innovation, data strategy, or enterprise AI platform development.
• Familiarity with frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGPT, or similar agentic orchestration technologies.
• Exposure to defense, finance, or mission-critical enterprise systems leveraging AI for automation or decision intelligence.
