• Partner with product and engineering teams to identify and execute machine learning use cases that deliver measurable impact.
• Design, build, and iterate on machine learning solutions (e.g., classifiers, regressors, ranking/retrieval, and rule-based components).
• Contribute across the ML lifecycle: data exploration, feature engineering, training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Implement reliable training and inference pipelines, and help improve reproducibility, testing, and observability.
• Communicate model behaviour, trade-offs, and results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to team standards: code quality, documentation, experimentation hygiene, and responsible ML practices.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor's degree in Machine Learning, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Deep understanding of machine learning fundamentals, including experience with Large Language Models (LLMs) and other emerging ML technologies.
• Demonstrated ability to write maintainable, tested code, participate in code reviews, and follow engineering best practices.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to break down ambiguous problems into scoped tasks and deliver iteratively.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with ML tooling such as MLflow, ZenML, or Metaflow.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, EKS, CloudFormation, Cognito).
• Exposure to streaming data platforms such as Kafka.
• Contributions to open-source ML projects.
• Master's degree in a relevant field.

What we offer

• Medical / Health Insurance
