Machine Learning Engineer

As a Machine Learning Engineer, your responsibilities include operationalizing ML models developed by our data scientists, optimizing and deploying these models, and ensuring their compliance with governance principles. You will also develop continuous integration pipelines to monitor the models and collaborate with data engineers to maintain efficient data storage and pipelines.

We look for candidates with proficiency in Python, Unix/Linux command-line, and experience in building CI/CD pipelines with tools like Jenkins or GitLab. Knowledge of ML libraries such as TensorFlow, as well as experience in MLOps frameworks, is crucial for success in this role.

A Machine Learning Engineer ensures model quality by conducting reviews for compliance, monitoring for data drift, and implementing robust feedback mechanisms. You will be responsible for integrating best practices from the CI/CD vertical to continuously evaluate and enhance model performance and stability.

Familiarity with tools and platforms like OpenShift, Kubernetes, and frameworks for MLOps such as AWS Sagemaker and Google AI Platform, is highly beneficial. Additionally, understanding distributed data processing frameworks like Spark and workflow orchestrators like Airflow will be important in this role.

Our company fosters a collaborative and innovative environment for Machine Learning Engineers. We value self-starters who are eager to take on responsibilities, share ideas, and stay updated on the latest developments in AI and ML. Here, you'll have the opportunity to work on impactful projects with a supportive team.
