• Experience deploying and maintaining production models, particularly in contexts like Gaming, Advertising Technology, or user incentive platforms, with a focus on metrics ownership, monitoring, and model decay management.
• Competence in modern data engineering tools and environments such as dbt, Airflow, Kubernetes, and Terraform, with ability to architect solutions alongside engineering teams.
• Excellent communication skills, able to clarify ambiguous scenarios, distill complex analyses into decision-making insights, and engage stakeholders effectively.
