• The main job of the team is to evaluate models to make the Data Scientist's job easy in production. We need someone with experience in production systems or experience that supports the vast array of ML requirements that can serve models built through any DS tool.
• You will learn and understand multiple complex technical problems facing our multiple product, data science, and analyst teams and design reusable infrastructure to solve their problems and use the commonalities between them.
