About The Position

The ML Platform Engineering team at Afresh is responsible for building and maintaining the foundational infrastructure and tooling that powers all of our machine learning and applied science solutions. We provide the shared components and services that enable our teams to develop, deploy, and scale robust ML models. This includes a performant data API, configurable featurization, reliable forecasting systems, highly parallel optimization engines, and scalable training pipelines, and deep experimentation capabilities. As our product suite and customer base grow, so does the scale and complexity of what our platform needs to support, gracefully accommodating predictions and simulations across various time scales (hours, days, weeks), complex data hierarchies (pallets on a truck, shelves of mangos in a store, chunks of fruit in a bowl), and endless configuration possibilities (average shelf fullness, backroom loads, truck capacities).
About the Role
As an ML Platform Engineer on the ML Platform Engineering team, you will be instrumental in elevating our core ML platform to its next level of performance, reliability, and scalability. You'll work on the critical infrastructure that directly enables all of Afresh's Machine Learning and Applied Science teams to innovate faster and deliver impact. Your contributions will empower our product suite, including our flagship Prediction Engine, to power replenishment decisions on more than 15% of all produce sold in the United States.

Requirements

• BS in Computer Science or a relevant technical field.
• 4+ years of professional software development experience with a proven track record of shipping high-quality applications and services.
• Experience working collaboratively with machine learning engineers, data scientists, or applied scientists on large-scale software projects involving machine learning models.
• Technical leadership experience and a demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers.
• Deep expertise in library design, API design, data structures, and algorithms.
• Strong familiarity with Python.

Responsibilities

• In your first 3 months, you might deliver a project that helps generalize model configuration, enables no-code model deploys for our various ML solutions, or vastly improves integration testing across our ML systems.
• By the end of your first 6 months, you will have owned the design and implementation of significant scalability improvements and additions to our ML platform. This might include new feature pipelines that power our recommendation engine, or work to stand up the first instance of real-time inference at Afresh.
