• Use your experience to enable the delivery of professional-level software prototypes
• Designing computational experiments to verify accuracy and computational speed of existing algorithms, and suggesting possible extensions, alterations or entirely different approaches
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the team (Product Managers, Machine Learning Scientists, Machine Learning Software Engineers and our Engineering teams)
• Maintain and develop a good working knowledge of state-of-the-art ML methods, software tools and implementation methods
• Work closely with platform-engineers to provide ideas and advice on ML techniques you are familiar with
• Evaluate scientific concepts for viability of implementation
• Write maintainable production code and promote best practices for code quality in a scientific codebase
• Attend client meetings as required
• Where appropriate, you will deliver training to the customer on core ML concepts and Mind Foundry products and solutions
