• Strong experience with Databricks (preferred) and AWS-based ML workflows.
• Proficiency with Python, SQL, PySpark and related ML/data engineering toolsets.
• Familiarity with ML lifecycle management tools (MLflow, Delta Live Tables, etc.).
• Experience with real-time, live low latency, mission critical relevancy models and serving endpoints.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD and monitoring systems.
• Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills to work closely with ML scientists and engineers.
• Experience reviewing code in pull requests, offering and receiving constructive feedback for optimization and best practices

Nice-to-Haves

• Familiarity with model observability and explainability frameworks.
• Experience with stream processing or near-real-time pipelines.
