  4. Work across the complete lifecycle of ML model development, including problem definition, data exploration, feature engineering, model training, validation, and deployment.
  5. Implement A/B testing and other statistical methods to validate the effectiveness of models. Ensure the integrity and robustness of ML solutions by developing automated testing and validation processes.
  6. Clearly communicate the technical workings and benefits of ML models to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, facilitating understanding and adoption.
Ideally, you'd have:

  6. Excellent skills in data processing (SQL, ETL, data warehousing) and experience working with large-scale data systems.
  7. Experience with machine learning model lifecycle management tools, and an understanding of MLOps principles and best practices.
  8. Familiarity with cloud platforms like GCP or Azure.
  9. Familiarity with the latest industry and academic trends in machine learning and AI, and the ability to apply this knowledge to practical projects.
  10. Good understanding of software development principles, data structures, and algorithms.
