* Develop, deploy, and maintain machine learning models in production environments.

* Perform exploratory data analysis to identify patterns, opportunities, and modeling approaches.

* Conduct feature engineering and prepare data for machine learning workflows.

* Build and improve data pipelines supporting model development, deployment, and maintenance.

* Monitor production models and help address performance or operational issues.

* Collaborate with engineering and business stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable machine learning solutions.

* Use version-control and collaborative development practices to manage production code.

* Work independently while communicating progress, risks, and technical findings clearly.

* Contribute to LLM- or AI-agent-based capabilities where applicable.

Must-Have Skills

* At least 2 years of experience building and maintaining production machine learning models.

* Strong Python programming skills.

* Advanced SQL skills.

* Experience deploying machine learning models into production.

* Experience monitoring or maintaining models after production deployment.
