About The Role

* Test, validate and refine models to ensure they are ready for production.
* Present complex insights through intuitive data visualizations and make data-driven recommendations to key stakeholders.
* Collaborate with engineering and product teams to ensure the seamless productionization, scalability and reliability of AI models.
