What you need to succeed:

• Relevant education on MSc-level.
• 5+ years of experience building machine learning models of production-grade quality.
• 2+ years of experience in either data science applications in (short-term) electricity markets, or in time-series forecasting in another domain.
• Expertise in software engineering using python - mastering python as a language, some experience in software design and architecture.
• It is an advantage if you have proven experience in MLOps related topics like model evaluation, model monitoring and observability, and handling of data quality issues.
• Ability to work well in a team located across different locations - you are a good communicator with the focus on collaboration, and you are able to monitor and guide more junior colleagues.
