Integrate AI solutions with enterprise applications using REST APIs
Perform data manipulation and validation as needed to support AI use cases
Document solutions and support production readiness
Operate as a versatile, “jack-of-all-trades” contributor who can adapt across technical and business needs

How You Will Qualify

Strong coding skills (Python and general software/data engineering fundamentals)
Experience integrating with enterprise applications
Comfort working with REST APIs
Ability to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders
Outgoing, collaborative style with confidence engaging business users
