• MLOps experience — Docker, Kubernetes, MLflow, Airflow, or similar for full ML lifecycle management
• Cloud platform experience — AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases and large-scale data processing
• US Citizen or Green Card holder — no visa sponsorship available
  
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with Auto-ML or No-Code/Low-Code data science platforms
• Proficiency with gradient-boosted trees (XGBoost, LightGBM), time-series forecasting, and deep learning frameworks
• Experience with automated feature engineering and hyperparameter tuning (Optuna, Ray Tune)
• Familiarity with Spark or Dask for large-scale data processing
• Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or related quantitative field
  
  
  

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Outcome-oriented flexibility — focus on impact over hours logged
  
  
  

Interview Process

• First-round team interview — technical and collaborative session
• Technical assessment — practical skills evaluation or take-home assignment
• Deep-dive interview — architecture, methodologies, and project experience
• Cultural alignment and leadership interview with key stakeholders
