FAQs

How do I define the project scope for a machine learning engineer?

Start by listing all the things you want the project to do. Think about the problem you are trying to solve with machine learning. Be clear about the data you have and what you need the engineer to do with it. This helps the engineer know exactly what you want.

How should I agree on deliverables with an ML engineer?

Discuss what you expect at each step of the project. Make a list of the tasks and timelines. Agree on the results you want to see. Clear deliverables keep everyone on the same page.

What questions can help me assess the ML engineer’s experience?

How important is it to discuss model deployment in early talks?
