• Collaborate with engineering teams to productionize models: develop APIs, containerize models, and integrate with CI/CD and monitoring pipelines.
• Perform rigorous model validation, A/B testing, and experiment analysis to quantify business impact and guide iterative improvements.
• Mentor junior data scientists and analytics consultants; define best practices for reproducible experiments, model governance, and documentation.
• Translate model outputs into clear, actionable insights and present recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Skills & Qualifications

• Must-Have: Proficiency in Python for data science and production (including Pandas and NumPy).
• Must-Have: Strong SQL skills for data extraction, transformation, and performance tuning.
• Must-Have: Experience building and tuning machine-learning models using scikit-learn and deep-learning frameworks such as TensorFlow.
• Must-Have: Solid foundation in statistical modeling, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques.
• Must-Have: Hands-on experience with model deployment and production integration (containers, APIs, basic CI/CD concepts).
• Must-Have: Proven ability to design experiments and conduct A/B testing with business-focused metrics.
• Preferred: Experience with PySpark or distributed data processing for large datasets.
• Preferred: Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and MLOps tooling.
