Overview
Delivers BSF Systems' in-demand AI & Data Analytics course — AI/ML foundations, generative AI, agent build and orchestration, model deployment, and an introduction to MLOps — for learners ranging from AI-curious professionals to aspiring AI/data practitioners.
Responsibilities
- Teach AI/ML foundations, generative AI, agent build and orchestration, model deployment, and MLOps fundamentals.
- Translate fast-moving AI and agent tooling into a stable, teachable curriculum, updating labs as the field moves.
- Guide learners through hands-on exercises to build and deploy a real AI agent or model, not theory alone.
- Prepare learners for AI Analyst, Prompt Specialist, AI Ethics & Governance Specialist, and Data Analyst/Specialist roles.
- Model responsible, ethical AI practice throughout instruction, given the course's coverage of AI governance.
Skills & Competencies

- Working knowledge of MLOps practices — versioning, CI/CD for ML, monitoring — sufficient to teach an introductory module credibly.
- Ability to make rapidly evolving AI and agent tooling concrete and teachable rather than hype-driven.
- Strong communication skills for a mixed-background audience, from AI-curious generalists to technical data practitioners.
Education & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, or a related field (required); Master's or PhD strongly preferred given the course's advanced agent/MLOps content.
- 5+ years of hands-on professional experience in applied AI/ML, data science, or AI product development.
- Relevant certifications an asset: AWS Certified Machine Learning, Azure AI Engineer, Google Professional ML Engineer, or a comparable recognized AI/data credential.
- Prior teaching, applied-AI consulting, or technical mentoring experience strongly preferred.
