  • Ensure quality, reproducibility, and documentation of models and findings. 

Qualifications

  • Proficiency in Python (and optionally R or Scala), including libraries like scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch. ect 

  • Hands-on experience with generative models (e.g., GPT, diffusion models) or multimodal AI. Experience using these models during development. 

  • Strong SQL and data engineering skills; Spark/Databricks experience is a plus. 

  • Experience deploying ML models to production (API, batch, or streaming environments). 

  • Comfortable leading projects and collaborating cross-functionally in a fast-paced, client-facing setting. 

  • Familiarity with A/B testing platforms (Optimizely, Adobe Target), cloud AI services, or explainable AI tools.
