• Work closely with platform-engineers to provide ideas and advice on ML techniques you are familiar with
• Evaluate scientific concepts for viability of implementation
• Write maintainable production-code and promote best practices for code quality in a scientific codebase
• Attend client meetings as required
• Where appropriate, you may deliver training to the customer on core ML concepts and Mind Foundry products and solutions
• It is highly likely that as part of this role you will be required to work away at partner locations

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience handling large datasets, suitable software techniques and hardware requirements
