Job description

You take models into production and keep them accurate once real data starts arriving. A model that only works in a notebook is not finished.

What you will do

• Take models from prototype to a production service with monitoring.
• Build the data and feature pipelines the models depend on.
• Watch for drift and retrain deliberately rather than reactively.
• Explain to a client what the model can and cannot be trusted to do.

What you will bring

• Experience deploying models, not only training them.
• Solid Python and comfort with the engineering around it.
• Honesty about uncertainty and error rates.
• Understanding of what a wrong prediction costs in the client's terms.
