Ecosystem Background: Experience in fast-paced, data-first environments or startups where ML is a core driver of business outcomes.
What You Will Own:
-
AI Stack Roadmap: Leading the path from opportunity sizing and prototyping through to evaluation, deployment, and impact measurement.
-
Technical Execution: Ensuring robust performance, validation, and inference of real-time models using the latest industry improvements.
-
Standards & Governance: Establishing pragmatic standards for model development, LLM evaluation, observability, security, and cost management.
-
Capability Mentorship: Coaching analysts and creating reusable tools to raise the collective quality of predictive problem-solving.
-
Strategic Communication: Translating complex technical work into clear recommendations and trade-offs for senior stakeholders.
-
Cross-Functional Leadership: Aligning stakeholders with competing priorities and creating clarity in ambiguous settings to influence outcomes.
Technical Breadth:
-
Expertise in Python, SQL, statistical analysis, and common ML frameworks.
-
Deep knowledge of MLOps, including feature engineering, deployment, inference, and monitoring.
