  • Implement monitoring for data drift, model drift, and key quality metrics.
  • Participate in incident response and postmortems when needed.
• Work with data and platform teams
  • Partner with data engineers and platform engineers on pipelines, event-driven signals, and data quality.
  • Use event streaming patterns when appropriate (near-real-time features, online scoring, CDC signals).
• Build tools that help others move faster
  • Contribute to reusable training and serving components (templates, libraries, CI/CD, feature pipelines).
  • Help enable safe self-serve ML and AI usage across teams.
• Use AI tools thoughtfully
  • Use AI to accelerate prototyping, debugging, documentation, and test generation.
  • Validate outputs, document assumptions, and protect sensitive data.

Your expertise (must have)

• Fresh graduate or < 1 year of relevant experience (internships and projects count).
• Solid programming fundamentals in Python (preferred) or another language used for ML systems.
• Strong fundamentals in:
  • Data structures and algorithms (enough to write efficient, reliable code)
  • Probability and statistics basics
  • ML fundamentals (supervised learning, overfitting, validation, metrics)
• Comfort working with data using SQL and/or Python.
• A problem-solving mindset and curiosity to learn quickly.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach.

Nice to have

• Experience with common ML libraries (scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow) through coursework or projects.
• Familiarity with model deployment patterns (APIs, batch scoring, streaming/online scoring).
• Exposure to MLOps concepts (experiment tracking, model registry, CI/CD, monitoring).
• Familiarity with cloud (GCP/AWS) and containers (Docker) is a plus.
• Understanding of responsible AI and privacy (PII handling, access control, evaluation).
• Experience using AI assistants responsibly for coding and analysis.

What success looks like

• You ship at least one end-to-end ML improvement (model, feature, or service) that runs reliably.
• You can explain model performance clearly: what improved, what did not, and why.
• Monitoring is in place for your models, and you react quickly when metrics drift.
• You reduce manual effort for the team by adding a reusable component, template, or automation.
