- Strong scientific programming skills (ideally in Python) and a track record of working on a range of computational challenges (both within and outside machine learning development).
- Excellent communication skills, including ability to present technical concepts clearly (in writing, face-to-face discussions and on conference calls), write project analyses, pitch ideas effectively and persuasively to clients / internal stakeholders, etc.
- Excellent organisation skills and ability to deliver results to deadlines.
- A proactive, innovative and pragmatic approach to problem solving and the ability to think critically and independently, able to work as part of a cross-functional team.
