  • Partner with product managers and business stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable AI solutions

  • Mentor and guide junior data scientists and contribute to team technical development

  • Support platform migrations and greenfield builds within Databricks environments

Role Breakdown

  • Data Science / AI Solutioning: ~60%

  • MLOps: ~30%

  • Data Engineering: ~10%

Required Experience & Skills

  • Strong background in machine learning and predictive analytics

  • Proven experience deploying ML models into production environments

  • Solid understanding of MLOps, CI/CD pipelines, and SDLC best practices
