  • Proven background in MLOps, model deployment, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience leading or mentoring a small team of data scientists or ML engineers
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Hands-on experience with NLP, LLMs, deep learning, or time series forecasting
  • Familiarity with MLflow or similar experiment tracking tools
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and Git-based workflows
  • Exposure to optimization techniques, simulation, or Bayesian methods
  • Experience building interactive analytical tools (Streamlit, React, dashboards)
  • Familiarity with enterprise data platforms (Snowflake, S3, Teradata)
