Responsibilities
Machine
Learning and Data Modeling – Model Productionization:
–
Utilizes
machine learning (ML) and software development knowledge to implement ML models
for production.
–
Engages
in transforming machine learning prototypes into production-ready models.
–
Collaborates
with multiple stakeholders, such as Development Leads, Product Management,
Operations, and Release Management, to make, adopt, and communicate technical
