Assessment Reasoning
NOT_FIT decision based on significant experience gap (3 years vs 5-8 required) and missing critical production infrastructure skills. While the candidate shows strong ML fundamentals and business impact, they lack the senior-level expertise in production MLOps, Kubernetes, and large-scale ML system architecture that this role demands. The position requires someone who can independently architect end-to-end ML systems and mentor other engineers, which requires more seasoned experience than this candidate currently possesses.
