  • Build and expose AI functionality via RESTful APIs and micro-services architectures.
  • Champion engineering best practices: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, testing automation, and continuous improvement.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions with a focus on security, compliance, and performance, especially in regulated industries such as payments and healthcare.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with data scientists, ML engineers, and business stakeholders to align technical solutions with strategic goals.

  • Deep familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices using GitHub Actions or similar platforms.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in agile, collaborative, high-trust teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline (Master’s preferred).
