  • Experience building an agentic harness for generative AI projects and solutions.
  • Experience across the software development lifecycle using AI agents; experience with tools such as Claude Code is valued.
  • Experience developing an application or prototype using tools such as Claude Code or Codex.
  • Experience deploying AI-developed applications to container infrastructure such as Kubernetes.
  • Demonstrated experience in innovation projects and practical AI application.
  • Experience with the full lifecycle of machine-learning and natural-language-processing projects, including exploratory data analysis, dataset construction, model selection and training, evaluation, and monitoring.
  • Experience developing production analytical solutions, machine-learning pipelines, and inference services.
  • Experience with MLOps, including pipeline automation, continuous integration and deployment, observability, and model monitoring.
  • Knowledge of infrastructure as code, such as CloudFormation.
  • Experience with Git and CI/CD practices for software integration and deployment.
