Requirements
4+ years of software engineering experience in a production environment, with exposure to ML or data science work (academic, professional, or project-based); OR 2+ years of experience specifically as an ML Engineer or Applied Data Scientist
Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, scikit-learn, XGBoost, or similar)
Hands-on experience building, deploying, and monitoring models in cloud environments — GCP strongly preferred (AWS or Azure acceptable); familiarity with services such as Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Run is a strong plus
Solid understanding of modern ML techniques — supervised/unsupervised learning, time series forecasting, embeddings, ranking — and their mathematical foundations
Experience with LLMs and prompt engineering, including building RAG systems or LLM-powered features
Comfortable working with structured and unstructured data at scale
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex model behavior to non-technical audiences.
