- Several years of experience in data science, machine learning or AI engineering, as well as in the development of productive AI systems.
- A sound understanding of the statistical and mathematical foundations of modern machine learning methods, in particular statistical inference, probability theory, experimental design and causal modeling.
- Excellent programming skills in Python as well as practical experience with modern ML and DL frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, Hugging Face or similar technologies)
- Practical experience in developing agentic AI systems with LLMs, including RAG, tool calling, structured outputs, reasoning workflows, and multi-agent systems.
- Deep understanding of LLM and agent architectures at the system level, including agent orchestration, planning, inference optimization, context management, evaluation of agent behavior, and scaling of production AI systems.
