• Familiarity with the model lifecycle: training, fine‑tuning, deployment, and monitoring.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort with data‑driven decision making.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across research, engineering, and product teams.

Bonus Points

• Exposure to speech technologies (ASR, TTS) or evaluation pipelines.
• Experience with quality metrics such as WER, CER, MOS, or latency tracking.
• Hands‑on familiarity with SQL, Python, or ML toolkits.
