About the job

Partners with stakeholders to design, develop, optimize, and productionize machine learning (ML) or ML-based solutions and systems that are used within a team to solve complex problems with multiple dependencies. This role also leads team efforts to leverage and improve ML infrastructure for model development, training, deployment needs and scaling ML systems.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and deploy scalable machine learning models to production to solve real-world business problems.

Collaborate with cross-engineering teams, data scientists and other partners to gather requirements and translate them into technical specification

Work closely with multi-functional leads to develop technical vision, new methodological approaches, and drive team direction.

Write clean, testable, and efficient code to ensure models run with low latency and high reliability.

Implement monitoring systems to track model performance, stability, and data drift in live environments.

Mentor and guide other engineers, providing technical leadership and encouraging a collaborative and growth-oriented team environment

Stay up-to-date with standard machine learning algorithms and industry trends to continuously improve our tech stack.
