  • Understanding of the latest AI research and ability to efficiently implement these systems;
  • Proficiency with cloud platforms like AWS for ML applications;
  • Keen interest in chemistry and willingness to learn chemical concepts fast;
  • Proficiency in contemporary software engineering approaches, including CI/CD, version control, and unit testing;
  • Excellent oral and written communication & presentation skills (English fluency).
