Machine Learning Engineer (m/f/d)

Job Description

Shopware is a leading ecommerce system that enables companies worldwide to scale quickly and efficiently in digital commerce. As a trendsetting open source solution, Shopware is already used by some of the largest European brands, retailers and manufacturers in the B2C and B2B industries.

To turn data into an even stronger growth engine, our Data & AI Lab builds the cloud-native backbone that powers analytics, machine learning, and AI-driven product features across the company.

As a Machine Learning Engineer (m/f/d) in the Data Platform & Enablement Team, you bridge software engineering, MLOps, and full-stack development: you productionize models, build the services around them, and jump into front-end work when it speeds up delivery.

This position can be filled on-site, hybrid, but also full-remote within Germany or specific European countries where we are registered. Your work location will be agreed upon in advance and forms the basis of your employment contract.

These are your tasks:

• Model-to-Production
• You design, develop, and ship ML-powered services as containerized microservices (FastAPI + Docker / AWS ECS / Lambda).
• You build robust training, evaluation, and inference pipelines using Python and the PyData stack (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn)..
• MLOps & Platform Engineering
• You implement CI/CD for ML (GitHub Actions, Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure).
• You instrument models with observability & experiment-tracking (e.g. W&B, Prometheus, TensorBoard).
• Full-stack Enablement
• You prototype customer-facing features or internal tools with React/TypeScript, Streamlit, and/or Gradio.
• You expose models via well-documented RESTful APIs and integrate them into Shopware’s product landscape.
• Collaboration & Innovation
• You partner with data scientists to move notebooks to production-grade code.
• You explore emerging techniques such as LLMs, RAG systems, and agentic frameworks and assess their fit for Shopware.
  

This is what you’ll bring to the table:

• Software engineering background: You have 3+ years of experience in building and operating production systems in Python, TypeScript, and/or React; familiarity with type safety, testing, and clean-code principles.
• Cloud & IaC: You gained experience on AWS and with Terraform (or similar) to manage infrastructure.
• Machine-learning know-how: You have a solid grasp of supervised/unsupervised learning and deep-learning concepts (CNN, RNN, transformers).
• MLOps mindset: You can work hands-on with CI/CD, Docker, and monitoring/alerting; you are ready to learn advanced MLOps practices if they have not yet been mastered and as needed.
• Full-stack skills: You bring the ability (and willingness) to deliver front-end or integration code in React/TypeScript or similar.
• Nice to have: PySpark/Spark or streaming (Kafka/Kinesis), LLM tooling (LangChain, Hugging Face), vector databases.
• Communication: Very good command of English and enjoyment of remote, cross-functional collaboration.
  
  

This is what we offer you:

• Company Culture: Open culture with flat hierarchies, where individual initiative is encouraged.
• Employment Contracts: Permanent positions that offer long-term security.
• Flexibility: Flexible working hours and options for mobile work and full-remote contracts.
• Equipment: Freedom to choose your preferred work hardware.
• Onboarding: Well-structured onboarding with support from a personal "buddy."
• Work Environment: An inspiring environment with dedicated colleagues and a dynamic community.
• Development Opportunities: Diverse opportunities for personal growth and development.
• Additional Benefits: Attractive perks such as company pension plans, health programs, and regular team events.
• and much more!
