• Familiarity with REST APIs, cloud deployments, and Git-based development.
• Basic understanding of machine learning fundamentals and evaluation techniques.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; willingness to learn and experiment.

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or agentic frameworks.
• Knowledge of vector stores (Azure AI Search, Pinecone, Qdrant, Redis).
• Exposure to Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and/or CI/CD pipelines.
• Understanding of Responsible AI and governance principles.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, AI/ML, Data Science, or related fields.
• 1–4 years of experience in AI/ML, cloud engineering, and software development.

Azure AI certifications (AI102, DP100) are a plus.
