• Recommending suggestions to automate user experiences across the platform 

You’ll be responsible for end-to-end development of machine learning products—this includes building training and evaluation workflows, owning deployed services and contributing to the design of products that rely on those models. You will need to have a head for strategy & cross-functional collaboration and thrive partnering closely with engineering & product teams to prioritize, execute, and drive results. You will also partner closely with the rest of the data org to design, implement, and maintain data science services in production.
