Zoolatech; Wrocław; On-site; PLN 210,000 - 320,000; Full time

Job summary

Zoolatech in Poland is launching a new ML platform initiative to enable multiple product teams to build, deploy, and scale machine learning solutions across the business.

The role blends hands-on engineering with architectural input, helping define how ML infrastructure will operate at scale in production, across cloud environments and Kubernetes-based deployments.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building and operating production-grade ML or large-scale data systems on cloud platforms.
• Experience with distributed systems (Docker and Kubernetes).
• Experience with streaming or batch processing systems (e.g. Kafka, Spark, Flink).
• Experience with ML lifecycle orchestration and workflow systems (e.g. Metaflow / Outerbounds, Airflow, Kubeflow Pipelines, Dagster, Flyte, Prefect).
• Experience designing reproducible ML pipelines and supporting model training, evaluation, and deployment workflows across teams
• Strong understanding of reliability, monitoring, and safe deployment practices
• Experience integrating multiple tools into a coherent, production-ready ML platform
• Ability to contribute to architectural decisions and communicate technical trade-offs clearly
• Experience running ML workloads on Kubernetes (GPU or multi-tenant environments)
• Experience with enterprise ML platforms (e.g. Databricks or similar)
• Experience onboarding teams onto shared platforms and optimizing infrastructure costs
• Explore similar open positions that match your experience.

Responsibilities

• Support and contribute hands-on to multiple ML platform POCs
• Work closely with Applied Scientists, ML Engineers, and internal Platform teams
• Evaluate platform capabilities (GPU training, real-time and batch inference, orchestration, scalability)
• Analyze performance, reliability, and integration with existing systems
• Contribute to key technical decisions (build vs buy, tooling, target stack)
• Support early production rollout and integration into the broader ecosystem
• Help define best practices, governance standards, and onboarding guidelines
• Enable adoption of the platform by initial and scaling teams

Job description

This opportunity is part of a newly launched ML initiative within one of Europe’s leading fashion and retail companies, operating at large scale across multiple markets and serving millions of customers.
