Senior Azure Cloud Architect

ph3About Us /h3 pDo you think Artificial Intelligence is changing the world? So do we. /p pAt Gemmo, we don't just build models: we help Fortune 200 companies like Novartis and Broadridge harness the power of AI to generate real, measurable impact. We are a Machine Learning and Computer Vision startup founded in 2020, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with an AI Lab in Milan, Italy. /p pOur expertise spans Machine Learning and Generative AI for financial services and Computer Vision for life sciences. We build custom AI solutions that combine automation with human insight — first exploring the highest-impact opportunities, then designing and deploying tailored solutions, and finally helping improve and maintain them over time. We believe in responsible, pragmatic AI: systems that integrate into real workflows, provide measurable value, and remain under your control. /p h3Our Team /h3 ul liMachine Learning Engineering: 14 people, including 2 Ph.D.s /li liBusiness Strategy: 3 people /li liLeadership: 2 people /li /ul pA lean, technical-first team — and we're growing.
