- Communicate approaches and results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Required Skills and Experience
- 3 to 5 years of hands-on data science experience.
- Strong machine learning fundamentals, including problem framing, experimental design, and algorithm selection and tuning.
- Proven track record of delivering machine learning models end-to-end rather than just analysis or visualisation.
