• Document assumptions, model logic, and implementation details to support maintainability and reuse.

How you will do it

• Stay close to the business problem by working directly with Finance and Lead Gen partners to remove ambiguity and focus on what matters most.

• Use structured experimentation and measurement to compare approaches, validate results, and improve model performance over time.

• Hands-on experience applying machine learning or other artificial intelligence techniques to business problems.

• Experience with Palantir Foundry and using enterprise data platforms to support analysis and solution delivery.

• Ability to translate business requirements into technical approaches and communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

• Experience working with large datasets, data quality considerations, and iterative solution development.

• Strong collaboration, organization, and problem-solving skills.
