Requirements Key Responsibilities: Develop and deliver high-quality software, AI, and data solutions while establishing best practices for future team members.
· Take ownership of hands-on coding, prototyping, and running proof-of-concept projects, particularly in AI, machine learning, data analytics, and DevOps.
· Provide technical expertise across software development, AI/ML, and data engineering, troubleshooting complex challenges and defining key strategies.
· Collaborate closely with a project manager and stakeholders to define requirements and create technical solutions that meet business needs.
· Architect scalable, reliable, and data-driven systems, employing best practices in software, AI, and data engineering.
· Shape the technological and innovation strategy, selecting and adopting new tools and frameworks across software, AI, and data platforms.
· Drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize development processes, enhance product quality, and increase efficiency.
· Stay up-to-date with the latest technology trends in software, AI, machine learning, and data analytics, and actively integrate new practices.
· Lay the foundation for a future team, developing standards and best practices to guide and mentor developers and data professionals as the role transitions to a leadership capacity.
Required Skills: · Proven experience (6+ years) in software development with expertise in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, .NET, and a background in AI, machine learning, or data analytics.
· Demonstrated success in project estimation, design, and delivery, with the ability to scope and plan projects effectively in collaboration with a project manager, ensuring they are completed on time and meet quality standards.
· Experience working on AI/ML or data-centric projects, with a solid understanding of machine learning models, data processing, and analytics techniques.
· Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
· Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern DevOps and MLOps practices.
· Strong understanding of software development methodologies (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) and flexibility to adapt to project needs.
· Excellent communication skills, able to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
· Strong problem-solving skills, with a practical and innovative mindset.
· Relevant certifications in AI/ML, cloud solutions, or software development are a plus.
This role is ideal for a self-driven professional eager to lead hands-on projects and lay the foundation for a high-impact team.
As the role grows, you'll have the opportunity to shape a technical team and mentor future engineers and data professionals, moving from a solo role to a position of leadership and influence.
