Strong software engineering skills (Python, production‑quality codebases, collaborative development).
In‑depth experience with the full ML lifecycle: data analysis, feature engineering, iterative model development, rigorous evaluation, and ongoing monitoring/improvement.
Proven collaborator and communicator; excels in high‑velocity, cross‑functional teams.
Curious, driven by end‑user/product impact, and passionate about advancing the state of applied ML and AI.
BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
Bonus Points For
Experience with LLM prompt engineering, Retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) based systems.
Experience in large scale user‑centric and content‑centric personalization challenges (user modeling, retrieval, content ranking, etc).
Open‑source or published contributions in ML, NLP, IR, or relevant research fields.
