Job Description
Role purpose
- Co-Lead operations of the predictive modelling platform and act as key bridge between R&D IT and R&D
- Set strategic direction for the modelling platform and guide further technical development
- Design and develop models to generate new content using machine learning models in a secure well-tested and performant way
- Confidently ship features and improvements with minimal guidance and support from other team members
- Establish and promote community standards for data-driven modelling machine learning and model life cycle management
- Define and improve internal standards for style maintainability and best practices for a high-scale machine learning environment. Maintain and advocate for these standards through code review.
- Support diverse technical modelling communities with governance needs
- Engage and inspire scientific community as well as R&D IT and promote best practices in modeling
Accountabilities
- Acts as R&D IT co-lead and subject matter expert for the modelling platform providing strategic direction as well as overseeing technical and scientific governance aspects
- Works closely with R&D to ensure platform remains fit for purpose for changing scientific needs
- Engages with modelling communities across R&D to understand applications recognize opportunities and novel use cases and prioritizes efforts within the platform for maximum impact
