• Package the model under the MFL framework (PyFunc, model_card, tests) for productionization.

Required Skills 🚀

• Proven experience in credit risk / scoring models and supervised machine learning.
• Python (scikit-learn, XGBoost), statistics, model validation, and MLflow.
• Understanding of risk metrics (PD, expected loss, exposure).

Nice to Have Skills 😉

• Experience in financial services, credit bureaus, or commercial credit portfolios.
• Experience developing AI agents / agentic infrastructure (e.g. Mosaic AI Agent Framework, agent orchestration, MCP).
