In this role, you will work on real business problems by building predictive models, engineering data features, and contributing to GenAI and automation initiatives that enhance decision-making and operational efficiency.
Key Responsibilities:
Machine Learning Model Development: Build, train, and optimise baseline machine learning models to solve defined business problems, ensuring rigorous evaluation against performance benchmarks and business objectives.
Actionable Insights Generation: Conduct deep-dive exploratory data analysis (EDA) to interpret model outputs and statistical patterns, translating complex findings into clear, strategic recommendations for stakeholders.
Behavioral Data Enrichment: Clean, engineer, and aggregate multi-dimensional user activity data into robust behavioural features that improve predictive model accuracy and depth.
AI Architecture & Pipeline Integration: Develop clean and modular Python and SQL scripts to support autonomous agent workflows, including retrieval-augmented data ingestion and integration with real-time inference APIs and MLOps deployment frameworks.
Prompt Engineering & GenAI Experimentation: Design, test, and refine structured prompting frameworks to enhance the accuracy, reasoning, and domain relevance of Large Language Model (LLM) outputs.
Preferred Skills/Qualifications:
Education: Currently pursuing or holding a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or other highly quantitative or computational fields.
Machine Learning & AI: Strong foundational understanding of machine learning concepts, model development, and evaluation techniques.
Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience in data manipulation, scripting, and model development.
Data & Analytics Skills: Ability to perform exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and interpret complex datasets.
GenAI Exposure: Interest or experience in prompt engineering, large language models, and generative AI applications.
Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical thinking with the ability to break down complex problems and develop structured solutions.
Collaboration: Ability to work effectively in cross-functional technical teams in a fast-paced environment.
