• 6 month contract within the public sector
• Mostly remote working - occasional travel to Scotland
• ??520 per day outside IR35
AI Engineer (Python)
Our public sector client is looking for experienced software engineers to provide hands-on technical leadership to an agile development, seeking to leverage document processing and ML to realise new automation opportunities for the organisation.
Skills And Experience
• OCR, Object Detection and LLM analysis implementation
• Machine Learning and AI Libraries including:
• ??Transformers/Hugging Face for working with pre-trained LLMs, fine-tuning, and inference
• PyTorch for deep learning model development and training
• OpenCV for computer vision tasks and image preprocessing in object detection
• PIL/Pillow for image manipulation and format conversion
• YOLO object detection frameworks
• Proficiency in Python 3.9+ with understanding of object-oriented programming, decorators, context managers, and async/await patterns
• Data structures and algorithms for efficient data processing and model optimization
• Error handling and debugging using try-catch blocks, logging, and debugging tools
• Pandas and NumPy for data manipulation, cleaning, and numerical operations
• SQLAlchemy or psycopg2 for database connectivity and ORM operations
• Boto3 for AWS service integration and automation
• AWS Cloud
