Résumé du poste

Kpler is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to build and deploy predictive models powering global commodity, energy, and maritime intelligence platforms. You will collaborate with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and Product teams to translate data flows into real-time insights for trading firms and analysts.

Responsibilities include deploying ML pipelines, bridging research to production, and ensuring robust MLOps and data ingestion practices across distributed systems.

Qualifications

• Two to five years of data-focused software engineering experience.
• Significant experience with large production Python codebases (not just notebooks).
• Deep understanding of electricity-grid fundamentals including generation and transmission.
• Experience with PostgreSQL, data design, normalization and time-series/event data handling.
• Experience in data science and ML research: statistics, hypothesis testing, training, evaluation, backtesting, tuning, model selection.
• Practical MLOps experience, including model and feature versioning.

Responsabilités

• Architect and deploy ML pipelines for power market forecasting and electricity grid modeling.
• Bridge research and engineering by turning prototypes into production-grade Python apps.
• Design and optimize PostgreSQL schemas for time-series data and event streams.
• Establish automated model training, backtesting, evaluation, tuning, and versioning across deployments.
• Build clean ingestion pipelines ensuring data integrity and low-latency access for analytics.
• Write modular, well-tested Python code and contribute to CI/CD and Agile processes.

Description du poste

At Kpler, we are dedicated to helping our clients navigate complex markets with ease. By simplifying global trade information and providing valuable insights, we empower organisations to make informed decisions in commodities, energy, and maritime sectors.

Since our founding in 2014, we have focused on delivering top-tier intelligence through user-friendly platforms. Our team of over 850 experts from 69 countries works tirelessly to transform intricate data into actionable strategies, ensuring our clients stay ahead in a dynamic market landscape. Join us to leverage cutting-edge innovation for impactful results and experience unparalleled support on your journey to success.

About the Role

As a Machine Learning Engineer at Kpler, you will play a key role in developing and deploying predictive models that power our global commodity, energy, and maritime intelligence platforms. Working closely with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and Product teams, you will bridge the gap between machine learning experimentation and production-grade software delivery. Your work will directly transform complex data flows into real-time, actionable insights that help world-leading trading firms, industrial leaders, and analysts make critical decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and deploy ML pipelines: Design, build, and maintain production-grade machine learning workflows and microservices for power market forecasting and electricity grid modeling.

• Bridge research and engineering: Transition statistical and machine learning prototypes from initial experimentation into scalable, production-ready Python applications.

• Manage time-series and event data systems: Design and optimize database schemas in PostgreSQL to handle high-throughput time-series data, event streams, and normalization routines.

• Implement robust MLOps practices: Establish automated model training, backtesting, evaluation, tuning, and feature/model versioning standards across deployments.

• Drive data engineering quality: Construct clean ingestion and transformation pipelines, ensuring high integrity, validation, and low-latency access across analytical models.

• Champion software excellence: Write modular, well-tested Python code, actively participating in peer code reviews, CI/CD automation, and Agile delivery processes.

Experience & Background

What you'll need (Must-haves)

• Software engineering foundation: Approximately two to five years of experience as a data-focused software engineer.

• Python mastery: Significant experience working with large production Python codebases, rather than working exclusively in notebooks.

• Domain knowledge: Deep understanding of electricity-grid fundamentals, including generation, transmission, and electricity markets.

• Data engineering & databases: Experience in data engineering, including working with PostgreSQL or similar databases, database design, data normalisation, and managing time-series and event data.

• DS & ML research rigor: Proven experience in data science and machine learning research, encompassing statistics, hypothesis testing, model training, evaluation, backtesting, tuning, and model selection.

• MLOps & versioning: Practical experience in machine learning engineering, specifically including model and feature versioning.

• Engineering practices & communication: Confidence working with Git, code reviews, and Agile methodologies, supported by strong written and spoken English.

Nice-to-haves

• Cloud platforms: Experience deploying ML workloads on AWS or GCP using Docker and Kubernetes.

• Workflow orchestration: Familiarity with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow, Kubeflow, or MLflow.

• Streaming technologies: Exposure to real-time streaming architectures (e.g., Apache Kafka).
