  • Experience with MLOps and ML infrastructure, e.g. model training, deployment, scheduling, data processing and monitoring in cloud environments
  • Strong understanding of system architecture design for high-availability, low-latency systems
  • Familiarity with AI coding tools and AI-assisted workflows
  • Excellent communication skills in English (B2-C1)

Nice to have

  • Experience with exchange connectivity (e.g. EPEX / EEX or ISVs)
