Your responsibilities will include:

  • Taking vague requirements and translating them into models that solve real-world problems
  • Running machine learning experiments using a programming language with machine learning libraries.
  • Optimizing solutions for performance and scalability.
  • Implementing custom machine learning code.
  • Data engineering, i.e. ensuring a good data flow between database and backend systems.
  • Data science, i.e. analyzing data and coming up with use cases
  • MLOps, i.e. automating ML workflows with testing, reproducibility and metadata/feature storage; Designing ML architectures on GCP
  • Multiple years experience as an ML Engineer, ideally from a consulting background.
  • This candidate should be comfortable working with python as a backend language, delivering code in well-tested CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure).
  • Experience with Software Engineering.
  • Good knowledge of SQL.
  • Knowledge of scaling up computations (GPUs, distributed computing, ..).
  • Familiarity exposing ML components through web services or wrappers (e.g. Flask in Python).
  • Strong communication and presentation skills.
