- A track record of managing client relationships and speaking directly with customers.
- Experience planning and carrying out studies that produced measurable business results.
- Solid production Python skills, including pandas, scikit-learn and workflow orchestration: you deliver working code, not just notebooks.
- Hands-on work with large-scale distributed data processing for machine learning, using Spark.
- Background in healthcare or life sciences data, such as claims, health records, lab data or population health analytics.
- Skill in describing model behavior clearly and assessing results candidly.
