The AI Dream Team: Strategies for ML Recruitment and Growth // MLOps Podcast #267 with Jelmer Borst, Analytics & Machine Learning Domain Lead, and Daniela Solis, Machine Learning Product Owner, of Picnic. // Abstract Like many companies, Picnic started out with a small, central data science team. As this grows larger, focussing on more complex models, it questions the skillsets & organisational set up. Use an ML platform, or build ourselves? A central team vs. embedded? Hire data scientists vs. ML engineers vs. MLOps engineers How to foster a team culture of end-to-end ownership How to balance short-term & long-term impact // Bio Jelmer Borst Jelmer leads the analytics & machine learning teams at Picnic, an app-only online groceries company based in The Netherlands. Whilst his background is in aerospace engineering, he was looking for something faster-paced and found that at Picnic. He loves the intersection of solving business challenges using technology & data. In his free time loves to cook food and tinker with the latest AI developments. Daniela Solis Morales As a Machine Learning Lead at Picnic, I am responsible for ensuring the success of end-to-end Machine Learning systems. My work involves bringing models into production across various domains, including Personalization, Fraud Detection, and Natural Language Processing. // MLOps Jobs board https://mlops.pallet.xyz/jobs // MLOps Swag/Merch https://mlops-community.myshopify.com/ // Related Links Website: --------------- ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ------------- Join our slack community: https://go.mlops.community/slack Follow us on Twitter: @mlopscommunity Sign up for the next meetup: https://go.mlops.community/register Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://mlops.community/ Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkm/ Connect with Jelmer on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/japborst Connect with Daniela on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniela-solis-morales/
