• Own ML models full lifecycle and monitor existing models, while continuously improving our automation pipeline from a DS perspective.
• Rapidly prototype new ideas (e.g., custom RAG-based solutions, Agentic processes, knowledge graphs) based on applied research or academic concepts, and if successful, productionize.
• Be a primary contributor for the semantic engine component of the organizational brain platform and be able to serve as a technical authority in that domain.
• Look for improvement and innovation opportunities with business impact, and be a source of high-quality ideas.
