• Help assess whether a particular method is appropriate for the problem and the data
• Build and refine Python-based analytical and modelling workflows
• Explore uncertainty, edge cases, and failure modes
• Support the evolution of early prototypes into product-ready logic
• Collaborate with the full-stack developer so modelling components can be integrated cleanly into the software
• Document assumptions, reasoning, and limitations clearly
• Adapt quickly as product and technical priorities change
