Hands-on experience with Python ML frameworks (scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost).
Experience with AWS ML services (SageMaker, Lambda, S3) and MLOps/LLMOps tooling (MLflow, Weights & Biases, DVC).
Proven track record transitioning models from experimentation to production with governance and quality controls.
Experience developing LLM/GenAI solutions and familiarity with LLMOps tools.
Strong problem-solving, communication, and project delivery skills.
Eligible for UK DV security clearance; candidates without clearance must be able to undergo the process.
