• Strong understanding of MLOps principles and experience with tools like MLflow.
• Solid understanding of model evaluation, optimization, bias mitigation, and monitoring in production.
• A problem solver with scientific rigor, strong business acumen, and the ability to bridge the gap between data and decisions.
• Prior experience in leading cross-functional AI initiatives or collaborating with engineering teams to deploy ML pipelines.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Engineering, Statistics, or a related quantitative field. A PhD is a plus.
