As the Product Specialist for Generative AI, you will lead the enablement, expertise, and backline support for our customer-facing field team with Generative AI, including supporting RAG (retrieval augmented generation), open source models like Llama2, MPT, Mistral, 3rd party models including OpenAI, Vector Indexing, and foundational model pre-training using MosaicML.

We ask that you maintain operational rigor so that incoming requests to present, demo, and deep-dive are assigned and handled promptly.

You have expertise in Data Science, Machine Learning, Generative AI, NLP, and Computer Vision, as well as expertise in using PySpark and SQL.
