  • Drive the organization's scientific agenda and are visibly engaged with the broader Twitch scientific community. You maintain situational context, have good judgement on when to reuse solutions, and/or when to invent new ones.  
You Have:
  • 6+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying ML systems in production 
  • Masters degree in Computer Science, ML, or related field
  • Demonstrated ability to:
    • Work autonomously with minimal guidance
