What you should have

  • BSC Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field.
  • Strong background in machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.
  • Experience in working with classification models, OCR, and language models (LLM).
  • Solid understanding of data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques.
  • Familiarity with cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) is a plus.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and in a team.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
