Key Responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end AI project lifecycles: problem framing, data assessment, model selection, training, validation, and deployment.
• Architect robust MLOps pipelines using tools like MLflow, Kubeflow, or custom CI/CD workflows.
• Conduct rigorous model monitoring, drift detection, and continuous improvement cycles.
• Advise clients on data strategy, governance, and ethical AI practices.
• Produce clear technical documentation, executive summaries, and presentation decks for non‑technical audiences.
• Mentor junior data scientists and contribute to internal knowledge‑sharing sessions.

• 5+ years of professional experience building and deploying machine learning models in production environments.
• Deep proficiency in Python, TensorFlow/PyTorch, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Strong background in supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning techniques.
• Hands‑on experience with NLP transformers (BERT, GPT, T5) and computer vision architectures (ResNet, EfficientNet, Vision Transformers).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, CloudFormation).

Consulting & Communication

• Proven track record of delivering client‑facing AI engagements from discovery to hand‑off.
• Ability to translate technical concepts into business value narratives for stakeholders at all levels.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable leading workshops and design reviews.

Education

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience).

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications such as AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty, Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer, or Azure AI Engineer Associate.
• Published research or open‑source contributions in top‑tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, ACL).
• Experience with responsible AI frameworks, bias mitigation, and model explainability tools (SHAP, LIME, Integrated Gradients).

Salary Range

Estimated compensation: $130,000 – $185,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience, expertise, and geographic cost‑of‑living adjustments. This range reflects market rates for senior AI consultants in the United States and includes a performance‑based bonus component.

• Access to a curated library of GPU‑accelerated cloud credits for experimentation.

Company Culture

Our organization values curiosity, transparency, and inclusive collaboration. We operate as a distributed collective where every voice shapes product direction. Decision‑making is data‑driven, yet we celebrate creative risk‑taking.
