• MSc or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven expertise in building and deploying end-to-end ML systems at scale, including recommendation and personalization systems.
• Strong background in distributed systems architecture, including low-latency services, streaming platforms, and large-scale serving.
• Hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and ML infrastructure technologies.
• Track record of delivering high-quality, scalable, and fault-tolerant systems.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to influence product and technical strategy.
• Proven experience deploying large-scale serving systems on AWS and demonstrated expertise in leveraging Databricks for large-scale data processing and ML workflows
