How We Work in Applied AI

- We care about people and outputs.

- What matters is what you ship, not the time you spend on it

- Bureaucracy is where urgency goes to vanish. You talk to whoever you need to talk to. The best idea wins, whether it comes from a principal engineer or someone in their first week.

- Always ask why. The best solutions come from deep understanding, not from copying what worked before

- We say what we mean. Feedback is direct, timely, and given because we care.

- No politics. Low ego, high standards.

- We embrace an unstructured environment and find joy in it.

• You are currently pursuing a degree in AI, data science, or a related field from a tier 1 engineering school or university.

• You have strong programming skills in Python.

• You are familiar with machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques.

• You hold basic understanding of MLOps and deploying machine learning use cases.

• You have good communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Ideally you have:

• Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.

• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and Linux shell environment.

• Experience working in HPC Environments

• Publication record in AI or a related field
