What Technical Stack (Skills) Should You Look For While Hiring an AI Developer?

Introduction

It is important to have the right AI talent in your project when you have an out-of-the-box idea on Artificial intelligence. In my opinion, having a full-stack AI engineer can turn your project idea into reality.

So, whenever you need to augment your team with AI developers or hire AI developer separately who can work on your idea from scratch, you should look for the skills mentioned below.

Below mentioned tech stacks are a must-have, and AI developers should have hands-on experience using the same. It is not necessary to have experience using it all, but it is good to know it.

It would be best to ask questions on the tech stack mentioned below to an AI developer while interviewing to ensure that you have the right AI tech talent in your team/project.

So without wasting much time, let me mention it here.

Technical expertise an AI developer should have:

1. Programming Languages

  • Python
  • R
  • Scala
  • SQL
  • C++
  • LISP
  • PROLOG
  • RUST
  • Haskell

All of the languages mentioned above are excellent choices for Artificial Intelligence projects. With a basic grasp of the project, you can easily select the most appropriate language and boost your project efficiency.

2. Frameworks
TensorFlow and Scikit-learn SciPy are the most used frameworks.

3. Fields

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • Computer Vision
  • Recommendation systems
  • Tabular data analysis
  • Signal Processing

4. Libraries

  • OPENNN
  • Neuroph, Sonnet
  • Scikit-learn
  • Tensor2
  • Tensor
  • tf-slim
  • Apache Spark MLlib

5. DBMS

  • Relational (MS SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL)
  • Non-relational (MongoDBCouchDB, Cassandra, etc.)Distributed (Hadoop etc.)

6. Packages

  • CUDA
  • OpenCL

7. Neural Networks

  • Deep Q-Network (DQN )
  • Convolutional and recurrent neural networks (LSTM, GRU, etc.)
  • Generative adversarial networks (GANs)
  • Feedforward Neural Network
  • Autoencoders (VAE,DAE SAE, etc.)
  • Radial basis function network
  • Modular neural network

Conclusion:
Now, you know what you need to ask an AI developer. And yes, I have mentioned a few and most preferred tech stacks. Because every project requires different skills, do not judge the developer/company with the tech mentioned above the stack. This blog is written for the general tech stack required while hiring an AI developer. For better outsourcing, You have to share your requirements and hire the developers from trusted companies accordingly.
