* Manage relationships and priorities across projects, focused on maximising value
* Actively participating in and leading code reviews, experiment design and tooling decisions to help drive the team's velocity and quality
Qualifications

Desired Experience
* Experience with machine learning workflows, cloud scale machine learning infrastructure (including LLMs)
* Experience in the energy or commodities trading industry, with knowledge of financial markets and trading concepts
