Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Artificial Intelligence Technologies LLC; San Jose (CA); In loco; USD 150.000 - 230.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Artifintech is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to own the end-to-end ML model lifecycle from post-training through production in a hybrid cloud environment. You will work with ML researchers, engineers and platform teams in a fast-moving setting.

Responsibilities include benchmarking inference frameworks, deploying models to GCP, automating deployment end-to-end, and monitoring model performance in production. Strong cloud experience, especially with GCP, is required.

Competenze

• Strong foundation in ML inference, deployment and testing.
• Ability to ramp up on unfamiliar tech stacks quickly.
• End-to-end problem-solving from model handoff to user-facing behavior.

Mansioni

• Benchmark ML inference frameworks for production.
• Deploy models to GCP and integrate into streaming pipelines.
• Own end-to-end deployment automation from handoff to serving.
• Monitor model behavior in production.

Machine Learning Engineer You will own the end-to-end ML model lifecycle from post-training through production — everything after the researchers hand off a trained model. This is not a research role. You are the engineer who takes models and makes them real: benchmarked, deployed, monitored, and integrated into live production applications. You will work directly with ML researchers, production engineers, and platform teams in a fast-moving hybrid cloud environment.

What You Will Do – Inference & Deployment

Responsibilities

• Evaluate and benchmark new ML inference frameworks to guide production decisions
• Deploy models to GCP and integrate them into production applications and Java-based streaming pipelines
• Own deployment automation end-to-end — from model handoff through live serving
• Monitor how models behave in production for real end-users

Performance & Quality

• Design and execute benchmarking, performance testing, and quality testing on ML models
• Perform model sampling to support quality evaluation and researcher feedback loops
• Debug issues across the full stack — from inference layer down to streaming pipelines

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Partner with ML researchers to provide benchmarking feedback and guide inference decisions — requires enough core ML knowledge to have a meaningful technical handshake
• Adapt rapidly to non-standard and evolving tech stacks across hybrid (on-prem + GCP) infrastructure

Technical Stack

• Primary platform: Google Cloud Platform (inference, deployment automation, experimentation, sampling)
• Production integration: Java-based streaming pipelines (model integration layer)
• Infrastructure: Hybrid — on-prem streaming + GCP serving stacks
• Distributed systems: Working knowledge required for debugging and end-to-end testing (not deep expertise)
• Machine Learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX or similar)

What We Are Looking For – Must-Have

• Strong foundation in ML inference, deployment, and quality testing
• Demonstrated ability to ramp up quickly on new and unfamiliar tech stacks — this is the single most important trait
• End-to-end problem-solving mindset — can own a problem from model handoff to user-facing behavior
• Core ML knowledge sufficient to benchmark models and collaborate with researchers
• Experience deploying models in cloud environments, ideally GCP

Good to Have

• Exposure to Java or JVM-based systems (model integration happens in Java; deep expertise not required).
• Familiarity with streaming data architectures.
• Experience in hybrid cloud/on-prem environments. Strong system design skills expected at both levels. Tech-lead caliber — able to connect the dots across stacks independently.
