Model practicality: picks the simplest model that wins (linear/trees/GBM/SVM), documents trade-offs, delivers model cards.
MLOps basics: packages models behind FastAPI/Flask, containers (Docker), CI checks, versioning, simple monitors for drift/decay
Remote-readiness: clear async writing, soft skills, dependable U.S./Canada overlap.
Maya

A recruiter assesses English proficiency, async communication, culture add, motivation, and availability. We verify work history and stability (no serial short stints).
Practical task (90–120 min): build a scikit-learn Pipeline for a real-world tabular problem; include CV, metrics, calibration, and a lightweight API.
Senior engineers run a live session vetting their skills.
We speak with past stakeholders and review code artifacts where possible. We confirm achievements, ownership level, and reliability in distributed teams.
We align on start date, hardware/security constraints, preferred collaboration tools, and, when needed, relocation logistics inside the US.
