What You'll Do
  • Design, train, and evaluate machine learning models for production use cases.
  • Implement end-to-end ML pipelines covering data preprocessing, model serving, and monitoring.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into ML solutions.
  • Debug and optimize model performance in production, iterating based on real-world feedback.
  • Write clean, maintainable code and contribute to ML infrastructure and tooling.
  • Participate in code reviews and share knowledge with the broader team.
What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of professional experience in machine learning or software engineering, with hands-on work building and deploying production ML systems.
  • Proficiency in Python for ML development and experience with at least one ML framework such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.
  • Experience implementing end-to-end ML pipelines, including data preprocessing, model serving, and production monitoring.
  • Strong ML fundamentals: model selection, evaluation metrics, feature engineering, and validation techniques.
  • Experience deploying and maintaining ML systems using MLOps tools or cloud platforms such as AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI, Kubernetes, or Docker.
  • Experience with A/B testing or experimentation frameworks in production environments.
  • Background in startup or fast-moving product environments with rapid iteration cycles.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to prioritize for impact in a dynamic setting.
