• Collaborative Coding Practices: Proficient in using Git for version control within a collaborative development environment. Experience with pull requests, code reviews, and branch management in team settings.

• Independent Work Ethic: Demonstrated ability to work independently and take initiative, especially in distributed teams across multiple time zones.

• Communication and Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and debugging skills, with the ability to clearly communicate technical decisions and collaborate across disciplines.

• Familiarity with MLflow for tracking experiments, managing model lifecycle, or deploying models.

• Experience with AWS services such as S3, EC2, SageMaker, Lambda, or similar tools for model deployment and data pipelines.

• Computer Vision Expertise: Practical experience or exposure to modern computer vision models and techniques such as ResNet, YOLO, Vision Transformers (ViTs), or similar. Solid understanding of image processing workflows, deep learning pipelines, and model evaluation.

• Research and develop solutions to complex business problems, working with large, unstructured datasets.

• Apply various exploratory data analysis techniques and processes to these datasets, including entity resolution at scale and graph-based fraud detection.

• With support from senior data scientists, play a lead role in the delivery of high-quality products, solutions, models, and/or algorithms in a timely manner.

• Make considerations between technical perfection and business outcome in the delivery of solutions.

• Partner with senior business stakeholders and Product Owners to fully understand your customers and align your work to their requirements.

• Communicate complex concepts to stakeholders in a clear and accessible manner.

• Compare and contrast different statistical programming languages, tools, and packages to make informed decisions on what technologies to use to meet the business requirements.

• Ensure accuracy through the implementation of a variety of approaches and mechanisms in line with best practices.

• Develop best practices for the team and coach other team members on areas such as style, documentation, and code management.

• Grow your knowledge in all components of the Data Science life cycle.

• Seek opportunities for you and your team members to share and celebrate what you’ve achieved through internal tech talks, blogging, and external events.
