  • Knowledge of Azure cloud services, including Azure AI Platform, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, and Azure Cognitive Services, and their integration with ML workflows.
  • Familiarity with AI ethics, bias mitigation, explainability techniques, and responsible AI practices.
  • Knowledge of security best practices for AI solutions, including data encryption, access control, and endpoint protection.
  • Prior experience implementing AI/ML solutions in professional services, engineering, or construction environments is a plus.
  • Azure or Databricks certifications (e.g., Azure AI Engineer Associate, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Databricks ML Professional, Databricks Data Engineer Professional) are a plus.
