- Systems that automate Frequently Asked Questions
- An NLP model that will match a client with a representative with the required expertise, depending on the topic of the client's question

- Work with your teammates and our business stakeholders to understand the problems at hand
- Identify opportunities to leverage ML/NLP technologies to solve complex business problems

- Experience with ML/NLP technologies
- Drive to constantly push the envelope when it comes to finding the right solution to problems at hand
- Passion to try new things for the right reasons (e.g. experimenting with a new model to solve a business problem)

We'd love to see:
