Machine learning infrastructure and MLOps architecture expertise
Contributions to open-source data infrastructure projects
Published technical articles, conference talks, or thought leadership in data platforms
Expert knowledge of data privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA) and implementation at scale

What Success Looks Like

First 90 Days: Understand our architecture deeply, identify systemic opportunities and risks, and begin influencing key technical decisions. Establish yourself as a go-to expert in your domain(s).
