As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the deployment of our new pipeline. Collaborating closely with our team of data scientists and researchers, you will contribute to the development and implementation of the infrastructure. Additionally, you will work with, and potentially manage, external consultants during the initial phase of the project. Once the pipeline is successfully deployed, you will be responsible for the maintenance, monitoring, and deployment of new data sources and models developed by our research team.
