Overview
We are seeking a versatile ML/AI Specialist who can translate business problems into data driven solutions and build end to end ML systems in partnership with our team. You will handle data exploration, modeling, deployment, and monitoring, owning the full lifecycle from concept to production. The ideal candidate combines solid software engineering and practical machine learning skills with hands on MLOps, cloud experience, and expertise in modern AI, including LLMs and generative models.
Location: Poland (office in Krakow or Wroclaw, or 100% remote)
Responsibilities
- Translate business problems into ML/AI solutions and measurable success criteria.
- Build reliable data pipelines (batch and streaming) for training and inference; implement data validation and quality checks.
- Develop, train, and evaluate models (classical ML and deep learning) with reproducible experiments.
- Design and ship production services (APIs, batch jobs, streaming consumers) with automated tests and observability.
- Establish and maintain MLOps foundations: versioning code/data/models, experiment tracking, model registry, CI/CD, and automated deployments.
- Monitor production systems (latency, throughput, cost, model performance, drift) and implement retraining and rollbacks.
- Apply modern AI techniques: LLM integrations, retrieval augmented generation, fine tuning and adapters, prompt design and evaluation, guardrails.
- Optimize cost and performance (profiling, batching, caching, quantization, GPU utilization) and ensure reliability.
- Collaborate with product, data, and engineering stakeholders; document designs and decisions.
Qualifications
- 3-5+ years building ML powered products with production ownership (data - model - deployment - monitoring).
- Strong Python and software engineering fundamentals: clean code, testing, logging, type hints, code reviews, modular design.
- Proficiency with ML/DL stack: scikit-learn; PyTorch or TensorFlow; pandas/NumPy; solid grasp of evaluation metrics and experiment design.
- SQL and data modeling; experience with warehouses/lakehouses (eg BigQuery/Snowflake/Redshift) and ETL/ELT tools.
- Orchestration and pipelines: Airflow/Prefect/Dagster or similar.
- Containers and deployment: Docker; basic Kubernetes or serverless; API frameworks (FastAPI/Flask).
- Cloud experience (AWS/GCP/Azure) including storage, compute, networking, and IAM basics.
- MLOps tooling: experiment tracking and model management (MLflow, Weights & Biases), model registry, artifact/version control.
- Monitoring/observability: metrics, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus/Grafana/CloudWatch/Datadog); model drift monitoring.
- Practical AI/LLM experience: using hosted APIs or open source models, embeddings/vector databases (FAISS/Pinecone/pgvector), RAG patterns, safety/guardrails.
- Clear communication and the ability to scope, estimate, and deliver incrementally.
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- English Proficiency - B2+
NICE TO HAVE
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation), Helm, KServe/SageMaker/Vertex AI/Azure ML.
- Streaming systems (Kafka/Kinesis/Pub/Sub) and real time inference.
- Feature stores, data contracts, and data governance.
- Performance tuning: ONNX/TensorRT, quantization, distillation, GPU scheduling; Numba/Cython.
- Security and compliance basics for ML systems, PII handling, secrets management.
- A/B testing, causal inference, and product analytics.
