Key Responsibilities

• Own key parts of the analytical and machine learning lifecycle, from data exploration to model production.
• Conduct exploratory data analysis to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies.
• Perform feature engineering and prepare high-quality datasets for analytical and machine learning use cases.
• Build, train, tune, and validate supervised and unsupervised machine learning models.
• Apply statistical methods for hypothesis testing, inference, and distribution analysis.
• Define evaluation metrics and validation strategies, including cross-validation and overfitting analysis.
• Utilize experimentation and model management tools such as MLflow, Weights & Biases, or Databricks ML.
• Analyze and query data using SQL.
• Develop clear and informative data visualizations using Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly, and BI platforms like Power BI or Tableau.
• Apply MLOps fundamentals, including model versioning and deployment lifecycle practices.
• Work with cloud-based machine learning platforms such as Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, or Google Cloud Vertex AI.
• Communicate analytical findings and technical insights clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with Data teams to integrate analytical solutions effectively across projects.
• Take ownership of model quality, reliability, and the overall analytical lifecycle.
• Adapt analytical approaches and models to changing datasets, requirements, and project objectives.
• Proactively identify problems and communicate solutions in a structured, value-oriented manner.

Requirements
