Data visualization skills (Power BI or Tableau) to communicate insights and outcomes.
Communication
System analysis skills to identify viable AI insertion points in processes, products, or workflows.
Stakeholder communication (translating technical findings into business value and concrete recommendations).
Documentation of models, assumptions, data lineage, and decisions.
Governance/Security
Responsible AI awareness (fairness, explainability, privacy, and compliance considerations).
Basic understanding of data security and access controls in production environments.
Preferred Skills
Advanced AI/LLM
Experience with LLMs (e.g., Azure OpenAI Service/OpenAI API) for summarization, classification, or copilots.
Prompt engineering and evaluation of LLM outputs for quality and safety.
RAG pipelines (retrieval-augmented generation), vector databases (e.g., Azure AI Search, Pinecone, FAISS), and embeddings.
Fine-tuning or model adaptation strategies for domain-specific use cases.
MLOps Engineering
Model orchestration/experiment tracking (MLflow, Weights & Biases).
Kubernetes and ML deployment tools (e.g., AKS/EKS, Argo, KServe).
Feature stores, A/B testing frameworks, and event-driven/streaming data (Kafka, Kinesis).
CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep).
Data Platform Integration
Databricks, Snowflake, or BigQuery experience.
Building robust APIs (REST/GraphQL) and microservices around models.
Monitoring & Observability (Prometheus, Grafana; app & model logs).
Responsible AI & Compliance
Practical experience with model risk management, documentation standards, and explainability (SHAP, LIME).
Knowledge of privacy-by-design and PII handling (data minimization, anonymization).
(If applicable to the environment) familiarity with FedRAMP or regulated environments.
Additional Languages/Tools
R, PySpark, or Scala for data-intensive workloads.
LangChain or Semantic Kernel for LLM app development.
