•
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Data Science, Product, and Operations teams to translate business needs into technical requirements, ensuring the platform delivers tangible business outcomes like reduced spreads and increased transaction volume.

•
Proven track record of designing and implementing ML/Data Platforms or Feature Stores that directly support production AI/ML models.
•
Deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and large-scale data processing (e.g., vector search, data versioning).
•

•
Experience in a domain where AI/ML is critical to the core business (e.g., pricing, optimization, recommendations).

Highly Sought-After Skills
