• A collaborative problem solver with a passion for driving software and ML best practices.
• Hands-on experience in a cloud-native product (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Excellent technical communication and work breakdown skills, including the ability to explain ML concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice-to-Have:

• Hands-on experience with Computer Vision, MLOps, IaC tooling.
• Experience with embedded development and IoT.
