  • Analyze datasets and define appropriate modeling approaches, validation strategies, and evaluation metrics
  • Perform exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and data preprocessing
  • Train, tune, and evaluate machine learning models across tabular, text, image, and time‑series datasets
  • Develop strong reference solutions using industry‑standard machine learning techniques and best practices
  • Review and validate the technical quality of machine learning projects and deliverables
  • Document methodologies, assumptions, and evaluation results in a clear and reproducible manner
  • Identify opportunities to improve model performance through systematic experimentation and iteration
3. Required Qualifications
  • Master’s degree or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field from a top‑tier university
  • 2+ years of hands‑on experience developing, training, evaluating, and optimizing machine learning models in a professional or research setting.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and modern machine learning frameworks (e.g., scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, PyTorch, Tensor Flow)
  • Demonstrated experience building end-to-end machine learning solutions, including data preparation, model development, validation, and evaluation
  • Strong understanding of model evaluation metrics, validation methodologies, and experimental design
  • Experience with one or more of the following areas:
    • Tabular machine learning
    • Natural language processing
    • Computer vision
    • Recommendation systems
    • Ranking systems
    • Time-series forecasting
  • Ability to work independently on open-ended machine learning problems and deliver high-quality technical outputs
4. Preferred Qualifications
  • PhD from a leading research university
  • Experience at leading technology companies, AI labs, research institutions, or high-growth startups
  • Participation in competitive machine learning or data science competitions
  • Experience optimizing models against performance-based evaluation metrics
  • Familiarity with advanced techniques such as ensembling, hyperparameter optimization, transfer learning, foundation model fine‑tuning, or reinforcement learning
  • Publications, patents, or significant open-source contributions in machine learning or AI
  • Experience reviewing, mentoring, or evaluating the work of other machine learning practitioners
