Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Oracle • United States,

12d

About The Position

This role focuses on the productionization of machine learning models, requiring a blend of ML and software development expertise. The engineer will transform prototypes into production-ready models, collaborate with various stakeholders, and ensure models meet production quality standards. Key responsibilities include deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting ML models, managing data quality and security, and contributing to the development of internal tools and documentation. The role also emphasizes continuous learning, problem-solving, and process improvement within a collaborative team environment.

Requirements

• Utilizes machine learning (ML) and software development knowledge to implement ML models for production with minimal guidance.
• Contributes to transforming machine learning prototypes into production-ready models.
• Supports collaboration with multiple stakeholders such as Development Leads, Product Management, Operations, and Release Management to make, adopt, and communicate technical decisions, and shape the development and delivery of software.
• Contributes to ML model readiness for deployment by scaling models, cleaning model code, and ensuring production quality standards are met.
• Contributes to the automation of machine learning workflows, from data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) to model deployment and monitoring, to establish the continuous integration and continuous delivery of machine learning solutions.
• Utilizes infrastructure and frameworks to monitor the performance and alignment with design criteria of trained models and/or systems.
• Monitors the performance of deployed models and troubleshoots independently or in collaboration with Data Science.
• Interprets novel metrics that provide analytical insights to non-technical stakeholders on how well machine learning models are operating.
• Identifies potential issues related to data quality (e.g., bias, fairness), data security, and data privacy, and contributes to minimizing their impacts on data analyses and modeling.
• Contributes to tasks such as data cleaning, preprocessing, and feature identification to prepare for and enable model training.
• Contributes to collaboration with multiple stakeholders (e.g., data scientists, software developers) to integrate ML models into new or existing systems.
• Supports the partnership between model development and operations, ensuring smooth deployment and continuous improvement of ML models.
• Learns operational considerations of model deployment (e.g., performance, scalability, stability, maintenance).
• Participates in troubleshooting and debugging support efforts, such as addressing issues in machine learning infrastructure and workflow, and helping to create robust solutions to prevent future problems.
• Contributes to the development and maintenance of tools, platforms, environments, and services for internal use.
• Contributes to the development of efficient, bug-free, low-complexity code from scratch and properly maintains and organizes the existing codebase.
• Adheres to best practices for version control, code review, and continuous integration in machine learning projects.
• Updates and maintains professional documentation for technical processes (experimentation, data collection and analyses, model building).
• Develops familiarity with current developments in the machine learning field and integrates learnings into model development.
• Builds familiarity with the usage and development of third-party machine learning frameworks, packages, and libraries (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras) to continuously evaluate their performance and scalability, and integrate them into production environments.
• Independently manages work, monitoring timelines and deliverables to ensure projects or initiatives stay on track and meet requirements.
• Proactively prioritizes work and adapts to resource or timeline shifts, suggesting adjustments to maintain project efficiency.
• Collaborates across teams to align on expectations and achieve shared objectives.
• Builds and maintains a comprehensive understanding of business, stakeholder, and/or customer needs to build and support effective partnerships.
• Actively listens to diverse perspectives and asks questions to ensure understanding of others.
• Independently identifies and addresses standard and non-standard issues in accordance with standard practices, escalating more complex issues as appropriate.
• Analyzes data and/or information from multiple sources to troubleshoot standard and non-standard errors.
• Contributes to knowledge sharing and best practices.
• Embraces continuous learning by actively seeking to build knowledge and new skills and/or tools and staying current with industry trends and best practices.
• Seeks out and leverages feedback and training to improve skills.
• Contributes to a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing with team members.
• Develops ideas and recommends updates to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of processes, protocols, and workflows within a team.
• Seeks input from team members on alternative approaches and methods for improving work.
