Ask HN: Al / ML / Data Science people – what is your preferred title? I've come across a plethora of titles across industries, including: - AI researcher - AI engineer - Data scientist - Machine learning engineer There are slight and subtle differences in the implied roles but I've also seen these roles used interchangeably. Is there a "best" role title that is most sought after? And what does the role progression look like? For example, for MLE I would assume: - Jr Machine Learning Engineer - Machine Learning Engineer - Sr Machine Learning Engineer - Team Lead - Machine Learning |
