// Abstract

Like many companies, Picnic started out with a small, central data science team. As this grows larger, focussing on more complex models, it questions the skillsets & organisational set up.

Use an ML platform, or build ourselves?

A central team vs. embedded?

Hire data scientists vs. ML engineers vs. MLOps engineers

How to foster a team culture of end-to-end ownership

How to balance short-term & long-term impact
