• Design, train, and evaluate machine learning models for production use cases.

• Build end-to-end ML pipelines covering data preprocessing, model serving, and monitoring.

• Work with product and engineering partners to turn business requirements into ML solutions.

• Debug and improve production model performance using monitoring and real-world feedback.

• Write maintainable code and contribute to ML infrastructure and tooling.

• Participate in code reviews and share knowledge with teammates.

What We’re Looking For

• At least 3 years of professional machine learning or software engineering experience, including building and deploying production ML systems.

• Professional machine learning engineering experience, not solely data science work, and substantive employment after completing studies.

• A completed degree and demonstrated understanding of model selection, evaluation metrics, feature engineering, and validation.

• Proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.

• Experience implementing and maintaining production ML pipelines, including preprocessing, serving, and monitoring.

• Familiarity with MLOps tools and cloud platforms such as AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI, Kubernetes, or Docker.

• Experience with production A/B testing or experimentation frameworks, and optimizing models based on real-world results.

• Experience in a startup or fast-moving product environment, with the ability to prioritize impact and work through ambiguity.
