• Work with data engineers to architect and develop operational models that run at scale
• Partner with cross-functional teams to identify and explore opportunities for the application of machine learning and predictive analysis
• Partner closely with our legal teams to ensure we are treating all customer data to comply with appropriate confidentiality and usage
