  • Strong proficiency in Python and ecosystem libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Pandas).

  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and MLOps tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, or cloud-native equivalents like SageMaker/Vertex AI).

  • Solid understanding of statistical modelling, feature engineering, and data manipulation skills (including strong SQL).

  • Familiarity with software engineering best practices, including Git version control, CI/CD pipelines, and writing clean, testable code.
