What is the Scalable ML Engineering Career Frameworks course about?

Audit teams are under pressure to validate increasingly complex ML systems, yet most engineering career ladders don't account for compliance fluency. Meanwhile, governance professionals lack the technical depth to influence system design. This gap leads to reactive audits, rework, and missed opportunities for proactive risk mitigation.
