  • Statistical and Mathematical Rigor
    • Strong grasp of descriptive and inferential statistics (hypothesis testing, A/B testing, regression, probability theory).
    • Understanding of bias-variance trade-off, regularization, overfitting, and model validation techniques.
  • Machine Learning & Deep Learning
    • Hands-on experience with a range of algorithms: decision trees, ensemble models, SVMs, neural networks, clustering, and NLP techniques.
    • Proficiency in deep learning architectures such as CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, and LSTMs.
  • Generative AI & LLMs
    • Conceptual and practical knowledge of Large Language Models (e.g., GPT, BERT, LLaMA), fine-tuning, embeddings, and prompt engineering.
    • Familiarity with generative modeling approaches (e.g., VAEs, GANs, diffusion models) is a strong plus.
  • Programming & Problem Solving
    • Advanced proficiency in Python with the ability to write clean, modular, and testable code.
    • Experience with libraries such as NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and HuggingFace.
    • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to tackle coding challenges independently and efficiently.
  • Tooling & Deployment
    • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), ML pipelines (MLflow, Airflow, Kubeflow), and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
    • Version control (Git) and collaborative development practices.
