Machine Learning Engineer

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at our company, you will be responsible for architecting AI and ML systems, integrating these technologies into business applications, and executing end-to-end Generative AI projects using tools like OpenAI, GPT-4, and Llama-2. You will also develop NLP deep models, assist in conversational AI, and conduct statistical analysis to fine-tune our models.

Candidates for the Senior Machine Learning Engineer position should hold a Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative discipline such as statistics, mathematics, computer science, or engineering. Additionally, you should have over six years of experience in machine learning and data processes, with at least a year focusing on Generative AI.

For the Senior Machine Learning Engineer role, familiarity with Scala is preferred, along with Python and SQL. Experience with data processing packages such as scipy and pandas, as well as tools like Airflow for data pipeline management and Snowflake for data warehousing, will be beneficial for candidates.

In your role as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be expected to communicate architectural decisions effectively with multiple stakeholders. This may include presenting your findings to the client’s Architecture Review Boards (ARBs) and collaborating with different teams to ensure that AI initiatives align with overall business objectives.

Essential skills include strong problem-solving abilities with a focus on product development, excellent analytical skills for performing root cause analysis, and outstanding communication skills to convey complex concepts clearly. Additionally, independence and adaptability in a fast-paced environment will contribute to your success in this role.
