Key Responsibilities
- Evaluate emerging AI technologies with a clear focus on practical applicability and deployability

Desired Skills And Competencies
- Exposure to AI governance, security, or compliance considerations
- Experience deploying ML models in cloud environments (Azure preferred, AWS acceptable)
- Familiarity with MLOps practices (model versioning, evaluation, monitoring, iteration)
