Role Overview SpendHQ is building the next generation of its categorization and vendor-normalization engine, an ensemble of AI, rules, and human-in-the-loop intelligence that powers our spend analytics platform. The Machine Learning Engineer will design and implement the production infrastructure to train, deploy, and monitor these models at scale.
You'll partner closely with Data Scientists and Data Engineers to translate experimental models into performant, maintainable, and auditable systems running in Snowflake and containerized compute environments.
Key Responsibilities - Design, build, and maintain ML pipelines for classification, vendor normalization, and enrichment models.
- Develop MLOps practices including CI/CD for model deployment, versioning, and monitoring of accuracy and drift.
- Implement feature-store and model registry logic that supports both global (multi-client) and customer-specific models.
- Optimize model performance and inference cost across varying dataset sizes.
- Build APIs and services that expose classification outputs and confidence scoring to the SpendHQ platform.
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering to integrate model outputs into user-facing rule editors and dashboards.
- Partner with Data Engineers to manage data ingestion and Core Data Model mapping workflows used as model inputs.
- Define success metrics for model speed, scalability, and reliability.
What skills and experience should you have? - 5+ years of experience in ML engineering, data engineering, or applied AI roles.
- Strong Python experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
- Experience building and deploying ML pipelines in AWS (S3, SageMaker, ECS, Lambda, IAM).
- Experience building pipelines on cloud or Snowflake/Snowpark environments.
- Familiarity with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), GitHub Actions, and CI/CD practices.
- Experience deploying NLP or classification models in production.
- Understanding of feature engineering and data quality in multi-tenant SaaS environments.
- Collaboration skills to support partnering with data scientists, engineers, and analysts.
- Familiarity with LLM integration for text classification and entity resolution.
- Interest in applied MLOps and active learning workflows.
- Experience with procurement, ERP, or spend-data domains (preferred but not required).
- Model governance practices including version control, auditability, and access management.
