Overview
In this role you will build Python-based data pipelines that ingest data from diverse sources, prepare training and testing sets, and apply machine learning across supervised, unsupervised, and time-series tasks. You’ll analyze raw data with domain experts and ensure data quality with tests and pipelines. You will explore ensemble methods, tune models, and assess leakage to reflect real-world performance, often running large-scale training in the cloud. You’ll share findings with both technical and business teams and mentor colleagues as prototypes mature toward production.
