Assessment Reasoning
NOT_FIT decision based on complete mismatch between candidate's infrastructure/DevOps background and the role's ML/AI requirements. The position requires deep ML expertise, experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow, LLM knowledge, and proven track record building ML systems. This candidate has zero experience in these areas despite strong technical credentials in unrelated domains. This represents a fundamental skills gap that cannot be bridged quickly enough for a founding ML engineer role.
