- Proven experience designing enterprise-grade application architectures for ML/GenAI workloads.
- Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or C++, and proficiency with ML/AI frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras).
- Deep understanding of ML/AI fundamentals: statistical modeling, architectures, representation, reasoning, and generative models (LLMs, diffusion).
