Qualifications

* Programming experience. Your job will require you to code - we write Python and R, so experience in these languages is preferred.
* Machine learning experience. You enjoy machine learning. You have gone deeper than reading blog posts, ideally having several example machine learning projects you can speak to within industry, academia, or your free time.
* Capacity for autonomy. You will not have to hit the ground running on day one, but you will have to manage your time between research, model development, and model deployment.
* Strong communication skills. You can both dive deep in machine learning and explain concepts to a non-technical audience.

Preferred Skills

* Hackiness. You like to code and have interest in learning new technologies. Using git and Docker as regular parts of your workflow sounds exciting.
* Curiosity about machine learning. You want to stay fresh in machine learning. You are not afraid to take a stab at deep learning papers before they become blog posts (even if you don't have experience in it quite yet).
