## What they're looking for

- Hands-on work on real data pipelines and model-facing problems in data science, ML, or applied research
- Strong Python and data tooling, comfort building analysis, scoring, and automation yourself
- Experience with data characterization, data selection, active learning, or similar "what should we work on next" problems
- Working familiarity with speech/audio or NLP models — you can reason about model output quality, confidence, and error modes
- A track record of turning ambiguous, messy data situations into measurable model or product improvements
- You build systems others run without you in the room — a reusable harness, not a one-off notebook
