• Bridge Research & Engineering: Turn advanced research concepts and models into robust, scalable, and stable product capabilities in production.

• Stay Hands-on: Lead architecture, write clean Python code, and work directly with LLM pipelines and backend systems.

What We’re Looking For:

• Leadership Experience: At least 2+ years of experience leading ML or Data Science teams.

• Production-Grade ML: A strong background in Production ML, Backend systems, and MLOps (you must love staying hands-on).

• Tech Stack: Expert-level Python skills and experience with complex system architecture.

• Significant Advantages: Hands-on experience with LLMs / GenAI, or a background in Cybersecurity.
