  • Construct and optimize data pipelines to feed machine learning models at scale.
  • Retrain, maintain, and monitor machine learning models in production environments.
  • Build and manage cloud-based architectures to deliver optimized ML models.
  • Implement CI/CD best practices, including test automation and monitoring, for model deployment.
  • Ensure all code follows best practices for Responsible and Explainable AI.
  • Inform infrastructure decisions based on modeling techniques like feature selection, hyperparameter tuning, and validation.

What we're looking for

  • At least 6 years of experience designing and building data-intensive solutions using distributed computing.
  • At least 4 years of experience programming with Python, Scala, or Java.
  • At least 2 years of experience building, scaling, and optimizing ML systems.
  • Master's or Doctoral Degree in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, or a similar field (preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience building production-ready data pipelines that feed ML models (preferred).
  • 3+ years of on-the-job experience with an industry recognized ML framework such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, Dask, Spark, or TensorFlow (preferred).
  • 2+ years of experience developing performant, resilient, and maintainable code (preferred).
