• Understanding of business processes across sectors (such as Supply Chain or Finance) with the ability to translate high-level business needs into specific AI use cases.
• Good knowledge of Python and common ML libraries (such as LangChain, pandas, sklearn, PyTorch) as well as data engineering tools and technologies.
