What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own ML evaluation, CI/CD, and model quality monitoring—collaborating cross-functionally to ship reliable, reproducible deep learning systems at scale and keep improving performance, bias, and drift safety.

Software and ML engineer with experience building, evaluating, and deploying software and machine learning systems in production. Strong background in Python, C++ and MLOps. Comfortable working at the intersection of software engineering and applied ML in cross-functional environments.

I am looking to work on the evaluation of AI systems of all kinds (computer vision, LLMs, …) to ensure they are secure and safe for their users.
