We are hiring an Advanced Analytics Platform and Engineering Lead for our Enterprise Data & Analytics (ED&A) group. This is a hands-on technical leadership role within the Advanced Analytics & Data Science (AADS) team.
You will lead the technical direction across both platform engineering and data science, bridging infrastructure, MLOps, and applied ML delivery. Working closely with the product manager, you will co-lead the full lifecycle of advanced analytics and ML products—from concept to deployment—while providing hands-on coaching and technical guidance to engineers and data scientists.
This role is ideal for a senior ML engineer ready to shape standards and direction while staying deeply hands-on. Initially, you will mentor and guide team members without formal direct reports, with the opportunity to build into a management role as the team expands

- Proficiency with cloud infrastructure, containers (Docker/Kubernetes), and orchestration frameworks.
- Familiarity with ML lifecycle tooling (versioning, monitoring, explainability).
- Experience building data apps and workflows (Plotly Dash, FastAPI, LiteLLM, n8n or similar).
- Strong communication skills to bridge technical and business teams.
- Excitement about applying ML/AI to transform traditional industries.
Nice-to-Have
