AI—and particularly Generative AI— is expected to profoundly impact every company over the coming years. Thanks to Microsoft and Avanade’s strategic investments in AI and OpenAI, we are uniquely positioned to help our clients become AI-first organizations.

The EME AI Delivery Hub is an Iberia-based nearshore delivery center serving European and Middle Eastern clients, specialized in end-to-end AI and Advanced Analytics solutions. By joining the Hub, you will be part of a delivery pod working in an agile setup, owning AI initiatives from problem framing and data exploration to model development, deployment, and adoption. You will work closely with clients, guiding them throughout their AI and GenAI transformation journey.

As a Senior Analyst – AI & Data Science, you will design, develop, and deliver AI- and data-driven solutions that help our clients achieve measurable business outcomes. This role combines strong Data Science foundations with hands‑on AI engineering, including recent GenAI use cases.

You will work across the full data science lifecycle: data exploration, feature engineering, model development, evaluation, and deployment, while also contributing to modern AI solutions such as LLM-based applications, NLP, computer vision, and predictive analytics, primarily on Microsoft Azure.

• Design and deliver end-to-end Data Science and AI solutions, from business understanding and data exploration to model deployment and monitoring.
• Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA), feature engineering, and data preprocessing on structured and unstructured datasets.
• Develop, train, evaluate, and optimize machine learning and deep learning models, selecting appropriate algorithms and validation strategies.
• Contribute to Generative AI solutions, including LLM-based applications, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, and applied NLP use cases.
• Translate business problems into analytical and ML formulations, clearly explaining trade-offs and results to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Support the preparation of client presentations, demos, and proposals, articulating analytical insights and AI-driven value.
• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in Data Science, ML, DL, and GenAI, and actively share knowledge within the team.
• Contribute to reusable assets such as code templates, analytical frameworks, and internal training materials.
• Collaborate with senior team members and architects to identify opportunities where advanced analytics and AI can transform client operations.

• Strong foundation in Data Science and applied Machine Learning, including supervised and unsupervised learning.
• Hands‑on experience with ML/DL frameworks (e.g., scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of model evaluation, validation, and performance metrics.
• Experience working with structured and unstructured data, including text data for NLP use cases.
• Proficiency in Python for data analysis and ML development.

• Experience or strong interest in Generative AI, including LLMs, embeddings, prompt engineering, and retrieval-based approaches.
• Familiarity with NLP, computer vision, forecasting, or optimization use cases is a strong plus.
• Exposure to Azure AI / Azure Machine Learning / Azure OpenAI is highly valued.

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving mindset, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems.
• Ability to communicate insights clearly in English and Spanish, both written and verbal.
• Comfortable working in agile, client-facing environments.

You likely hold a bachelor’s and/or master’s degree in computer science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field. Equivalent practical experience is also valued.

• 3+ years of applied experience delivering Data Science, Machine Learning, or AI projects in real-world environments.
• Experience over the last few years may be heavily focused on GenAI, but grounded in solid ML/DL and analytical fundamentals.

• An accelerated and structured training program on Microsoft Azure and AI services.
• Hands‑on exposure to real client projects across computer vision, NLP, forecasting, and GenAI (Azure OpenAI, chatbots, RAG). xqbhyrx
