Senior Machine Learning Platform Engineer

An Ancient Greek word referring to “tools of the trade.”

You can also find more information about the company and our products at odaia.ai .

ODAIA is a remote first organization, all our positions are WFH with frequent company and team based socials, events and meetings in-person and virtually.

ODAIA's AI helps the world’s largest pharma commercial teams grow their brands by engaging HCPs at the right time—when they need information to make treatment decisions.

We use proprietary machine learning (ML) and large language models (LLMs) to help teams understand their customers—healthcare professionals (HCPs)—and predict prescribing behaviors.

Our SaaS platform turns complex data into personalized insights, helping pharma teams make informed decisions that bring therapies to patients faster.

ODAIAns (what we call ourselves) are inspired to reinvent the future of how non-technical people leverage data in their day-to-day lives. We are passionate about solving complex problems in data, AI, engineering, design, and product, so our customers don’t have to. We live by the notion that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication;” and making simplicity scalable is an even bigger challenge. That’s why we have a crazy talented team led by serial entrepreneurs, tech veterans, and life sciences experts.

OUR MISSION

Reducing patients’ time to therapy by facilitating meaningful interactions with healthcare providers, through human-centric software powered by AI.

We’re also on a mission to build an innovative, diverse, and ego-free business, where trust, innovation and ownership are valued. You’re on a mission too? We’re here for it. We put an emphasis on career development for our employees, and the opportunities to grow are extensive.

WHAT’S ON OFFER

Reporting to the Engineering Development Manager , the Senior ML Platform Engineer is experienced, creative and passionate about building best practice Machine Learning pipelines and operations. The successful candidate will work closely with other feature teams; collaborating cross-functionally throughout the development process to ensure the product is functionally complete and technically solid. This is an excellent opportunity to join a rapidly growing innovator in a technically challenging and rewarding role.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Design and build scalable and resilient architectures supporting ML solutions across various data tiers, from moderate to massive-scale datasets.
• Collaborate closely with Data and ML Engineering teams to identify, analyze, and resolve bottlenecks in ML workflows.
• Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines specifically tailored for machine learning model deployment, ensuring rapid integration and iteration cycles.
• Implement and champion industry-standard best practices for ML model deployment, operational management, and lifecycle maintenance.
• Efficiently manage cloud infrastructure resources, optimizing for cost, performance, and scalability across multiple data sizes.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to other engineers, fostering effective solution implementation and deployment strategies.
• Demonstrate deep expertise in AWS, along with proficiency in other major cloud platforms like Azure and GCP, continuously optimizing cloud infrastructure for ML workloads.
