  • Advanced knowledge of statistical techniques, probability, meta-analysis, multivariate calculus, and linear algebra.
  • Strong experience with Python, deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow), and data processing libraries (OpenCV, scikit-learn, pandas). Demonstrated ability to build, fine-tune, and deploy machine learning models, including LLMs, NLP, and predictive analytics solutions.
  • Experience deploying and integrating ML models into production environments.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock), CI / CD pipelines (Octopus Deploy, Git), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
  • Experience in biomedical or healthcare data analysis, integrating multi-modal data (imaging, text, structured data) for comprehensive insights.
  • Experience in prompt engineering, Agentic AI (such as Langchain, MCP, Langraph) and transfer learning techniques for LLMs.
  • Proficiency in data extraction, transformation, and feature engineering from large, complex datasets.
  • Experience with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, PostgreSQL) for AI applications.
  • Familiarity with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) or knowledge representation techniques. Experience implementing knowledge graphs and structured data models for AI-driven applications.
  • Ability to design and validate experiments, interpret results, and draw statistically sound conclusions.
  • Proactive, curious, and solution-oriented mindset, with strong ability to prioritize, execute efficiently, and solve complex technical challenges.
  • A proactive and curious mindset, with a willingness to explore innovative solutions.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams, mentor colleagues, and document methodologies for knowledge sharing.
