• Experience with modern MLOps tooling such as MLFlow, feature engineering, Kubernetes, and workflow orchestration (e.g., Prefect). Experience with PySpark and Databricks is a plus.
• A passion for building developer tools and platforms that improve productivity and enable other teams to scale ML adoption.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
