Assessment Reasoning
NOT_FIT decision based on significant skill gaps in core requirements. Candidate lacks production ML engineering experience, MLOps knowledge, cloud platform expertise, containerization/orchestration skills, and collaborative engineering experience. While they has strong quantitative modeling background, this appears more suited to a data scientist or quant researcher role rather than a senior ML engineer position requiring production system ownership and infrastructure expertise.
