• Work closely with data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Continuously learn, apply new technologies, and grow into a trusted advisor role

What skills should you have?

• Solid Python and software engineering fundamentals.
• First hands-on experience building ML and/or GenAI solutions (e.g. LLMs, RAG, or AI agents), whether from your studies, an internships, or personal projects.
• Working knowledge of data (SQL, data pipelines) and exposure to cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS).
• Basic understanding of how AI solutions are deployed and operated in production (e.g. MLOps/LLMOps, evaluation, monitoring).
• Awareness of AI security and compliance basics (e.g. GDPR, EU AI Act).
• Good communication skills, able to explain technical topics clearly (working language is English).
• Eagerness to learn, a collaborative attitude, and interest in growing into a technical consulting role.

A few notes

• We don't expect you to tick every box. If this speaks to you, let's talk.
• We care more about how you think, lead, and build than about what your jobtitle was before.
• This is a role with real scope - and genuine room to shape it as zeroG grows.
