About The Position

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will design and build cutting-edge AI/ML systems that drive meaningful business outcomes at scale. You will work cross-functionally to bring innovative machine learning solutions from research and experimentation through to robust, production-grade deployment. The MLE will collaborate with other MLEs to build scalable, production-ready ML solutions, taking algorithms from initial concept through to deployment. This hire will design end-to-end AI/ML solutions with clear business impact, from concept to deployment, with a strong focus on feasibility, scalability, and performance. You will benchmark, adapt, and integrate AI/ML models into existing systems.

Requirements

• 8 years of related experience building high-throughput, scalable applications or machine learning models in a production environment
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Operations Research, or related field
• Proficiency in one or more object-oriented programming languages such as Python, Java, or C++, with hands-on experience building distributed systems
• Experience building large-scale machine learning systems using big data technologies such as Spark, SQL, Snowflake, or similar platforms
• Experience with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn
• Familiarity with MLOps practices including model versioning, CI/CD pipelines, and experiment tracking tools such as MLflow or similar
• Experience building and deploying applications using large language models (e.g., GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, or open-source alternatives) via APIs or self-hosted inference
• Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or AutoGen to build multi-step, tool-augmented AI workflows

Nice To Haves

• 10 years of related experience building high-throughput, scalable applications or machine learning models in a production environment
