- Familiarity with security, privacy, and governance practices for enterprise AI solutions.
- Ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, influencing stakeholders through architecture guidance.
- Experience partnering across disciplines in agile delivery environments.
- Understanding application deployment, hosting, and scaling within Azure.
Education and Experience
- Master's degree or higher degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 5+ years of professional experience in AI/ML solution delivery, with recent hands-on GenAI solution experience.
