• Collaborate closely with data scientists and developers to embed testing and quality checkpoints
• Establish testing standards and workflows for continuous integration and deployment
• Conduct code reviews with a focus on design, testability, and maintainability
• Document system design decisions, test cases, and best practices
• Close collaboration with domain experts and stakeholders to validate developed solutions

Technical Skills & Experience Needed:

• Experience with version control (Git)
• Experience with building and deploying AI/ML products through the full product lifecycle
• Good understanding of scientific computing and ML frameworks
• Solid understanding of safety, bias, and failure modes of GenAI systems
• Comfortable working in a relatively fast-moving environment where priorities may shift and initiative is valued
• Proactive problem-solver who can anticipate needs and find solutions
• Comfortable working independently, but also a strong team player

Nice-to-Have:
