- Experience in a high-growth environment, working cross-functionally and wearing multiple hats.
- A technical background (education or professional experience with CS, Engineering, Economics, Mathematics, or another STEM field)
- Enough understanding of the ML training lifecycle to discuss use cases meaningfully with technical customers — or a clear ability to learn it quickly.
