- Develop, test, iterate, and refine AI POCs
- Build hands-on solutions using Python and modern AI development frameworks and tooling
- Use modern AI-assisted development tools to accelerate solution development
- Troubleshoot technical issues throughout solution development and POC delivery
Must Have Requirements:
- Strong hands-on Python development experience
- Hands-on experience building AI/GenAI applications or solutions
- Proven ability to take an AI use case from concept through working solution or POC
- Strong software engineering/development background
