    AREAS of RESPONSIBILITY

    • Provide technical leadership in the design, training, deployment and optimisation of ML models used across Greenstand’s platforms.
    • Oversee integration of ML models into production environments, ensuring reliability, scalability and performance.
    • Lead optimisation and maintenance of workflow pipelines (e.g., via Apache Airflow) for automated species tagging, image processing and model retraining.
    • Ensure model version control and notebook & dataset management via GitHub (fork-merge workflows, notebook uploads, etc). GitHub
    • Mentor contributors and guide collaborative ML development following open-source best practices (e.g., repository contributions, issues, PRs). GitHub
    • Collaborate with backend engineers to ensure efficient API endpoints and database integration for serving ML services.
    • Establish and maintain evaluation protocols to ensure model accuracy and continuous improvement (species tagging, disease detection, duplicate-image detection, growth tracking) as identified in the repository goals. GitHub
    • Document workflows, processes and model performance metrics; maintain clear versioning and reproducibility.
    • Coordinate cross-team communication using Slack, project-tracking tools and repository Projects boards. GitHub
    • Identify and explore new machine-learning opportunities that strengthen ecosystem-restoration monitoring and reporting (for example tree growth & update tracking, image-quality analysis). GitHub

    QUALIFICATIONS/EXPERIENCE/KNOWLEDGE:

    • Proven experience leading ML projects from research to production deployment.
    • Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch or similar.
    • Experience with workflow orchestration tools like Apache Airflow.
    • Understanding of model deployment on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP or Azure).
    • Familiarity with containerisation and CI/CD tools (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions).
    • Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.
    • Strong communication and mentorship abilities in a remote, asynchronous environment.
    • Background in computer-vision, image-processing or geospatial data analysis is an advantage.
    • Comfortable working within an open-source and collaborative repository environment, managing forks, pull requests and notebook sharing.
