- Strong grasp of machine learning and statistical concepts and know how to choose the right model for the problem and make it work in a production environment.
- Practical expertise in experimentation design and analysis.
- Proficient in Python and SQL, and familiarity with software engineering principles around testing, code reviews, and deployment
- Clear communicator: You are comfortable explaining complex ideas and results to diverse audiences, including senior management.
