Job-Specific Essential Duties and Responsibilities :

  • Develop, collaborate, and advance the applied and responsible use of AI, ML and data science solutions throughout the enterprise by finding the right fit of tools, technologies, processes, and automation to enable effective and efficient solutions for each unique situation.
  • Contribute and lead the creation, curation, and promotion of playbooks, best practices, lessons learned and firm intellectual capital.
  • Contribute to efforts across the enterprise to support the creation of solutions and real mission outcomes leveraging AI capabilities from Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, LLMs and classical machine learning.
  • Maintain current knowledge and evaluation of the AI technology landscape and emerging developments and their applicability for use in production / operational environments
  • Minimum Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in relevant field of study and 7+ years of relevant professional experience required, or equivalent combination of education and experience.

  • Experience with API programming
  • Experience with Linux
  • Experience with Machine Learning
  • Experience working as a contributor on a team
  • Bachelor's degree in relevant field of study and 7+ years of relevant professional experience required.
  • 3+ yrs experience in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
  • 7+ yrs experience in Software Development
  • 4+ yrs experience with Cloud Solutioning
  • Preferred Skills and Qualifications :

  • Experience working as an individual contributor in AI
  • Use of state-of-the-art technology to solve operational problems in AI and Machine Learning.
  • Strong knowledge of data structures, common computing infrastructures / paradigms (stand alone and cloud), and software engineering principles
  • Ability to design custom solutions in the AI and Advanced Analytics sphere for customers.
  • This includes the ability to scope customer needs, identify currently existing technologies, and develop custom software solutions to fill any gaps in available off the shelf solutions.

  • Ability to build reference implementations of operational AI & Advanced Analytics processing solutions.
  • Use of a variety of programming languages, including but not limited to Python / Java and frontend frameworks for POC demos and dashboarding
  • Use and development of program automation, CI / CD, DevSecOps, and Agile
  • Experience with deep learning model architecture development and philosophy
  • Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
