Build reusable frameworks and infrastructure for model development, evaluation, and benchmarking.
Partner with data scientists and product managers to translate ambiguous business problems into concrete ML system designs.
Apply and productionize state-of-the-art techniques across NLP, information retrieval, and generative AI where the problem calls for it.
Define and implement evaluation strategies - quality metrics, human-in-the-loop review, automated benchmarks - to ensure model reliability.
Drive scalability and efficiency across ML workflows, from large-scale data processing to real-time inference.
Work with ML platform engineers to integrate models and frameworks into production environments.
Document system architectures and establish best practices that other engineers build on.
Mentor other engineers and contribute technical judgment to hiring and calibration as the team grows.
