- Tu mènes tes projets IA de la conception de la solution jusqu'à son implémentation en production, en passant par le prototypage et la validation des hypothèses techniques.
- Tu assures la transition d'un prototype à une solution robuste en production, en mettant en place le monitoring, la gestion des coûts, la sécurité et la fiabilité nécessaires.
- Tu collabores étroitement avec les équipes de design, de développement et de gestion de produit pour intégrer l'IA de façon cohérente dans des solutions complètes.
- Tu vulgarises les concepts IA, les capacités et les limites des solutions proposées pour que les membres non techniques de l'équipe et les clients puissent prendre des décisions éclairées.
- Tu assures une veille continue sur l'évolution rapide de l'écosystème IA (nouveaux modèles, frameworks, techniques) et tu en fais bénéficier l'équipe en partageant activement tes découvertes et apprentissages.
CE QU'IL TE FAUT
- Tu as un bagage concret et une expérience en développement de solutions IA, te permettant de contribuer dès ton premier jour.
- Tu es une personne passionnée par l'intelligence artificielle, orientée vers les résultats et à l'aise dans l'ambiguïté inhérente aux projets IA.
- Tu possèdes un anglais et un français fonctionnels pour répondre aux besoins des clients dans un contexte professionnel.
- Tu sais faire le pont entre le développement logiciel traditionnel, particulièrement backend, et le développement IA, et tu es confortable dans les deux.
- Tu as une connaissance approfondie des modèles IA disponibles sur le marché, de leurs capacités, de leurs forces et faiblesses, et tu sais les comparer pour un cas d'usage donné.
- Tu as de l'expérience avec des frameworks, API et outils IA modernes (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI API, etc.) ainsi qu'avec des langages comme Python, Elixir ou TypeScript.
- Tu démontres ton autonomie et ta proactivité : tu navigues avec aisance dans des contextes où les résultats ne sont pas toujours prévisibles et tu adaptes ton approche en conséquence.
- Tu es à l'aise dans un contexte de service client et tu sais entretenir une relation de confiance avec les clients, avec honnêteté et transparence sur les capacités et les limites de l'IA.
- Ton savoir-faire et ton savoir-être contribuent à rendre l'équipe meilleure, notamment par le coaching, le partage de connaissances et des revues de code de qualité.
