• Develop and productionalize ML models for LTV prediction, churn propensity, and Next Best Action engines
• Own the full MLOps lifecycle — feature engineering, deployment, monitoring for data drift

• Production experience with RAG systems and vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate)
• Fine-tuning experience (LoRA, QLoRA) with frontier LLMs
• Strong grounding in Bayesian A/B testing and causal inference
