• Demonstrated experience with multi-modal foundation models and image processing techniques.
• Proficiency in Python and experience with machine learning libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) for building and deploying AI models at scale.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to tackle complex data challenges.
• Proven ability to work both independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to present technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Skills & Experience:
• Experience with image generation models, such as StyleGAN, DALL·E, or similar.
• Familiarity with ML Ops practices and tools for automating model deployment and monitoring.
• Knowledge of data pipelines, distributed computing, and cloud-native architecture.
• Experience working with databases (SQL/NoSQL) and managing large datasets.
• Ability to quickly prototype, experiment, and iterate on new AI-driven solutions.
• Previous experience in the creative, design, or technical staffing industries is a plus.
