Machine Learning Engineer, FOX Forward Deployed
About The Position
FOX Forward Deployed is an 12-month rotational program that embeds early-career machine learning engineers inside the teams powering FOX’s biggest, most-watched moments. You will complete two six-month deployments across AI-focused teams supporting streaming, sports, news, monetization, and enterprise data systems. You will contribute directly to production ML systems used at national scale. This is not a research sandbox. Models must ship. Systems must scale. You Build It. America Sees It. As a Machine Learning Engineer in FOX Forward Deployed, you will rotate across two ML-focused teams embedded within core business units across Streaming, Sports, News, FOX One, and platform organizations. You will build, deploy, and monitor models operating inside live production systems. From sports video intelligence and newsroom AI to ranking, retrieval, and monetization systems, you will work in high-visibility environments where model quality, latency, reliability, and deployment speed directly impact user experience and business performance. You will operate in an AI-native environment leveraging platforms such as AWS SageMaker and Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Databricks, Snowflake, ChatGPT, and Claude to accelerate experimentation and production delivery.
Requirements
- Strong foundations in machine learning, statistics, or applied data science
- Experience building and evaluating models through coursework, research, projects, internships
- Proficiency in Python and common ML frameworks
- Demonstrated use of AI-assisted tools to accelerate ML workflows
- Ability to explain how you validated model quality using metrics, bias checks, reproducibility controls.
- Curiosity about how models behave in production environments
- Bias toward experimentation and measurable outcomes
- FOX Forward Deployed is intentionally small and selective. Participants are expected to operate as contributing ML engineers from day one.
- Share one ML artifact such as repository, demo, or paper
- Explain the problem the model solved
- Describe the evaluation metrics you chose and why
- Detail one real constraint or tradeoff
- Explain how you used AI tools and how you verified their outputs
Nice To Haves
- Experience deploying models into production systems
- Exposure to recommendation systems, ranking, or personalization
- Familiarity with data pipelines or distributed systems
Responsibilities
