About The Position

About the Role We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our Insurance AI team. You'll be the engineering backbone for our Data Scientists, building and maintaining the ML infrastructure that turns models into reliable, scalable products. This isn't a greenfield build-everything-from-scratch role. Our Sydney-based AI & Computer Vision team has built robust ML tooling and pipelines. Your job is to extend, adapt, and maintain that infrastructure for US-specific use cases. If you're someone who gets satisfaction from making existing systems work better rather than reinventing the wheel, keep reading. You'll work closely with Data Scientists in the US and ML Engineers in Australia, acting as the technical bridge that keeps both teams moving fast.

Requirements

• 2-4 years as a Machine Learning Engineer or ML-focused Software Engineer
• Strong Python skills with a track record of writing clean, tested, production-grade code
• Hands-on experience with ML libraries like PyTorch, scikit-learn, and pandas
• Experience building and maintaining ML pipelines in production environments
• Solid SQL skills and familiarity with data engineering tools (Airflow, Spark, or dbt)
• The ability to jump into an existing codebase, understand it, and extend it
• Clear communication skills and comfort working across time zones

Nice To Haves

• AWS experience (S3, EC2, ECS, or similar)
• Experience consuming and integrating REST APIs at scale
• Docker and containerisation experience
• MLOps experience including CI/CD and model monitoring
• Familiarity with geospatial or aerial imagery data
• Experience with pipeline orchestration tools like Ray, Kubeflow, or Flyte

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain ML pipelines for data ingestion, feature processing, model training, deployment, and monitoring in AWS
• Extend and adapt existing tooling from our Sydney AICV team for US Insurance AI use cases
• Develop and support internal tools and frameworks that streamline experimentation and improve delivery speed
• Integrate internal and external APIs to connect datasets, models, and services
• Partner with Data Scientists to understand their workflow needs and translate them into scalable technical solutions
• Ensure infrastructure supports rapid experimentation while maintaining reliability, security, and scalability
• Collaborate with Technical Product Managers, API engineers, and platform teams to deploy models in production
• Contribute to a shared codebase through feature branches, pull requests, and code reviews

Benefits

• In addition to your annual leave, Nearmap offers:
• 4 extra "YOU" days off each year—take a break, no questions asked!
• Company-sponsored volunteering days to give back.
• Generous parental leave policies for growing families.
• Work from Overseas Policy - explore the world in the approved list of cities while you work!
• Access to LinkedIn Learning for continuous growth.
• Discounted Private Health Insurance plans.
• Monthly wellbeing and technology allowance.
• A Nearmap subscription (naturally!).
