We are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our team and play a critical role in bridging data science and software engineering. In this role, you will partner with data scientists to take models from prototype to production, and with software engineers to build APIs and services that are performant, reliable, and scalable. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that machine learning systems are production-ready, monitored, and continuously improved.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of machine learning, software engineering, and MLOps.

• Model Deployment & Integration
• Collaborate with data scientists to transform research models into production-ready services.
• Design, build, and maintain APIs and microservices to serve ML models at scale.
• Ensure smooth integration of ML solutions into core products and platforms.
  
• Performance & Reliability
• Optimize inference performance, latency, and scalability.
• Build monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to track model performance and data drift.
• Implement retraining pipelines and automated workflows for continuous improvement.
  
• Engineering & MLOps
• Develop CI/CD pipelines for machine learning workflows.
• Use modern DevOps/MLOps practices to ensure reproducibility and reliability.
• Partner with software engineers to design robust data and compute infrastructure.
  
• Collaboration & Leadership
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to align model capabilities with business needs.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices in ML engineering.
• Advocate for scalable, sustainable ML deployment strategies across the organization.

• Education & Experience
• 5-7+ years of professional experience in ML engineering, software engineering, or related roles.
• Bachelor’s Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (required).
• Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience (preferred).

• Technical Skills
• Strong programming skills in Python (and experience with libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch), Java, and/or Go.
• Hands-on experience building APIs and services (e.g., FastAPI, Flask, gRPC).
• Expertise with containerization & orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern MLOps tools (MLflow, Airflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, or similar).
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS).
• Solid background in data pipelines, distributed systems, and performance optimization.
  
• Soft Skills
• Strong collaboration skills with both data scientists and software engineers.
• Ability to balance technical rigor with pragmatic delivery.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities.

• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Opportunities to shape end-to-end ML systems in production.
• A collaborative, high-impact environment where ML solutions directly drive business outcomes.
