Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and deploy AI models with a focus on predictive analytics.
• Build and optimize machine learning models (supervised and unsupervised) for predictive tasks such as hazard ratio prediction, time series forecasting, and classification.
• Apply neural network architectures like LSTMs, CNNs, and feedforward networks to improve prediction accuracy.
• Collaborate with data engineers to ensure data pipelines are optimized for model training and deployment.
• Analyze large datasets, clean, preprocess, and transform data to fit into models.
• Experiment with different feature engineering techniques, including encoding methods such as GPT-based encoding.
• Use deep learning frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Keras to implement models.
• Optimize models for performance, including GPU/CUDA acceleration for fast training.
• Monitor model performance and fine-tune hyperparameters to improve accuracy.
• Work closely with stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into AI solutions.
• Prepare documentation, reports, and presentations for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Desired Candidate Profile

• 1+ years of experience in AI development, with a focus on predictive modeling.
• Strong understanding of machine learning algorithms (e.g., regression, decision trees, neural networks).
• Proficiency in Python, with experience in deep learning libraries such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Keras.
• Experience with time series forecasting and sequence-based models like LSTMs.
• Familiarity with optimization for CUDA acceleration.
• Knowledge of data preprocessing techniques, including feature engineering and encoding methods.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
• Excellent communication skills to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred:

• Experience in the healthcare area.
