• There is an ML model they built to predict their account balances.
• It is potentially ready to be used for income simulation forecasting that has been manual and now they can automate and use this model as a potential input.
• If the model is accurate enough and they can explain it well enough they can push this.
• This is a lot more about technical expertise and technical leadership than strategic. More Engineer.
• AWS Sagemaker. Switching from AWS to Databricks. Expertise in more than one tool is helpful. AWS and Databricks. LLM. Cloud formation Lambda. Python. Pyspark AWS Glue. ML Ops Sagemaker.
• We had a very strong profile submitted that the team really liked, but they identified a candidate another candidate with more hands on keyboard experience in ML Ops in Sagemaker.
• More senior, experienced ML Engineer that has built similar models and is familiar with other tech ologies, including AWS SageMaker and Databricks (currently using AWS Forecast), Jupyter Notebook, AWS Bedrock, XGBoost.
• AWS Suite
• Python
• Amazon ECR
