- Build classifiers for behavioral and temporal signals from user and system activity data
- Generate and augment datasets using synthetic, multilingual data and edge-case coverage
- Scale ML experimentation and deployment pipelines with MLOps best practices
- Create systems targeting cloud, on-prem, and self-hosted environments to support client-side inference
- Continuously improve model performance, latency, and reliability
- Implement secure, privacy-aware inference strategies aligned with zero-trust principles
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align ML efforts with product goals
- Write clean, maintainable code and provide comprehensive documentation
