  • Strong programming skills, particularly in Python, Javascript, or similar languages
  • Experience with data analysis, machine learning, or AI technologies
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to think creatively
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% of the time (flexible based on project needs)


Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with enterprise software deployment or consulting
  • Familiarity with analytics platforms or business intelligence tools
  • Knowledge of AI/ML model deployment in production environments
  • Experience working in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government)


What We Offer
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Equity in a fast-growing AI company
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Flexible PTO policy
  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technologies
  • Collaborative and innovative work environment
