• Design and maintain backend services that integrate ML models into products, with a focus on performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Work with ML engineers and product developers to ensure seamless integration of models into customer-facing features.

Qualifications:

• Strong proficiency in Python , especially for data processing, computer vision tasks, and backend development.
• Hands-on experience with PyTorch and model training workflows.
• Proven experience building and maintaining FastAPI or similar web backends for serving machine learning models.
• Familiarity with Docker , REST APIs, and basic DevOps practices for deploying and monitoring services.
• Solid understanding of data structures and engineering best practices for handling large-scale visual data

Bonus Skills:

• Experience with image annotation platforms (e.g., CVAT, Roboflow).
• Proficiency with MLflow for experiment tracking and model versioning.
• Experience training and deploying models using platforms like Amazon Bedrock , Databricks , or similar cloud-based ML services.
• Knowledge of MLOps best practices and model monitoring in production environments.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) for scaling services and storage.
