What is the Modern ML Engineering Career Frameworks course about?

ML teams often form organically, with engineers pulled in from data science or software roles. Without structured career frameworks, these teams struggle to scale, define ownership, or demonstrate ROI. Leaders are left retrofitting titles and levels after problems emerge, rather than designing for growth ahead of demand.
