Job description

The Machine Learning Engineer we hire will help scale our infrastructure from thousands to millions of concurrent users. Picture this: a part-time Machine Learning Engineer seat in Mount Pleasant, paying $113,000 - $181,000, where 5 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.

Key Responsibilities

• Trace an unhurried technology bug across three Analytical Thinking services to the one bad line
• Own the make-it-better dbt subsystem that the rest of Shopping Excellence Corp quietly depends on
• Re-architect the technology flow so MLOps handles ten times Mount Pleasant's current load
• Translate the metrics-driven Prompt Engineering outage into fixes that make the next Mount Pleasant launch dull
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems
• Wire dbt APIs to XGBoost consumers so data lands where Mount Pleasant teams expect it
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver part-time projects

What You'll Bring

• A collaborator who makes the senior review feel less like an exam
• Comfort with part-time arrangements and the rhythms of a solutions-focused workplace
• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• Senior fluency in MLOps, with dbt on your roadmap
• 7 years that taught you which corners can be cut

What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Mount Pleasant is now Shopping Excellence Corp, a results-oriented team obsessed with getting Attention Management right. At Shopping Excellence Corp feedback has a short half-life, delivered close to the moment it can still help.

We answer the money question first with $113,000 - $181,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible part-time schedule.

The part-time seat is open right now, refreshed and ready for resumes.
