About The Position

Our team bridges the gap between machine learning capabilities and user-facing products. We transform advanced ML technologies into valuable features that tackle real customer problems. We're looking for a skilled Machine Learning Solutions Engineer who can work at the intersection of ML research, engineering, and product development to build production-ready AI systems that deliver measurable business value. If you're passionate about making ML models work in real-world applications and can collaborate optimally across technical and non-technical teams, we'd love to talk with you!

As a Machine Learning Solutions Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in our ML product development lifecycle. You'll collaborate with ML researchers, software engineers, product managers, and designers. You'll be responsible for prototyping ML-powered features, evaluating their technical feasibility and business impact, and guiding the implementation process. In this role, you will build proof-of-concepts that demonstrate ML capabilities in practical contexts, develop strategies for measuring product value, design effective evaluation frameworks, and help build flawless moves between different ML models as technologies evolve. You'll need to think holistically about how ML systems fit into larger product ecosystems and user workflows. You will be successful in our team if you enjoy solving complex technical problems with a product approach, can communicate optimally with diverse partners, and thrive at finding the right balance between ML performance and product requirements. This role requires both technical depth and the ability to see the big picture of how ML brings value for users.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field
