Sr Machine Learning Engineer
About The Position
Machine Learning Engineers work to deploy end-to-end solutions to business problems leveraging AI and/or ML principles as needed to create those solutions. MLEs will take requests from stakeholders, define the components required for the project, gather data necessary for project EDA and training, then work with stakeholders to develop a plan around the productionized use of the solution, and work to put that solution into final production. At Optimum, every action and interaction we take part in, is driven by our three Guiding Principles: Do What’s Right, Drive One Optimum, and Make It Happen. These aren’t just words, they help us build trust, create real community, and embrace new ways of thinking. Our employees are empowered to do the right thing for our customers and co-workers and to recognize and reward these behaviors when we see them. It’s all part of the bigger picture of “Be The Difference” where each employee knows they have the power to enact real change, share new ideas, and understand that learning never stop.
