• Optimize UI performance and ensure smooth, data-driven interactions.
• Translate business needs and wireframes into functional, elegant front-end features.

Required Qualifications:
• 3–6 years of experience in software engineering or ML engineering roles.
• Proficiency in Python for ML development (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Solid understanding of ML model lifecycles, versioning, and monitoring (e.g., MLflow, Weights & Biases).
• Proficient in front-end technologies: React.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3.
• Experience with REST APIs or GraphQL and integrating with back-end services.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience deploying ML models using Flask, FastAPI, or similar frameworks.
• Experience with front-end design systems or component libraries (e.g., Angular UI, Tailwind CSS).
• Exposure to full-stack development or back-end technologies – Javascript.
•Knowledge of user-centric design and data privacy principles.

Soft Skills:
• Strong product mindset and ability to think end-to-end.
• Excellent collaboration skills — able to work across ML, engineering, and design.
• Agile and iterative development approach.
