- You have hands-on experience operationalizing ML and GenAI models—including LLMs, image generation, and multi-modal systems—into production-grade applications.
- You have a proven ability to partner cross-functionally with Data Science and Product leaders to deliver seamless, client-facing experiences from model to interface.
- You possess exceptional people leadership skills, with a history of building, mentoring, and scaling diverse, high-performing engineering teams.
- You have excellent communication and collaboration instincts, with the ability to align stakeholders, navigate complexity, and drive toward outcomes.
- You possess a bias for clarity and action in ambiguous environments, with a demonstrated ability to scale products from MVPs to resilient, extensible platforms.
