• Strong proficiency in Python, with practical experience using PyTorch and/or TensorFlow to build and deploy models.

• Experience integrating marketing and CRM platforms (e.g. HubSpot, Salesforce) into ML-driven workflows.

• Familiarity with advertising APIs (e.g. Google Ads API, Meta Ads API) for model-driven campaign optimization.

• Proven ability to develop ML solutions for lead scoring, conversion prediction, and performance optimization.

• Hands-on experience with LLMs, recommender systems, and generative AI techniques.
