Job Title: Senior Software Engineer (With Machine Learning Experience)

Job Description:

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Python Engineer with 5+ years of professional experience, including at least 2 years of hands-on experience in Machine Learning (ML). The ideal candidate will possess strong Python development skills, a deep understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP), and practical experience with NoSQL databases, especially MongoDB. Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure is also required.

This role is perfect for a developer who is not only proficient in backend engineering but also enthusiastic about applying ML concepts in real-world applications. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to develop and optimize scalable, reliable, and maintainable Python-based solutions.

Responsibilities :

• Design, develop, and maintain Python applications with a focus on performance and scalability.
• Design systems with non-linear time complexity and efficient space usage across compute and storage. Ensure stateless, idempotent request processing with no in-memory state. Model schemas for future evolution, supporting increasing data volume and structural changes.
• Build and operate cloud-based SaaS applications with a focus on production reliability. Design includes not only functional code but also integrated monitoring, alerting, and health checks to ensure observability and operational excellence in a multi-tenant environment.
• Apply object-oriented programming (OOP) principles to craft reusable, modular code.
• Develop, implement, and optimize machine learning models in production environments.
• Leverage NoSQL databases like MongoDB for efficient data storage and retrieval.
• Work with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) for application deployment and data services.
• Write and maintain robust unit and integration tests using test-driven development (TDD) practices.
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle — from requirements gathering to deployment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, participate in Agile ceremonies, and contribute to technical discussions.
• Engage in code reviews and mentor junior team members where appropriate.
• Stay updated with emerging trends in Python development, machine learning, and software engineering best practices.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in Python development.
• At least 2 years of hands-on experience with Machine Learning (model development, evaluation, and deployment).
• Strong understanding of OOP principles and real-world software design.
• Experience working with NoSQL databases, particularly MongoDB.
• Familiarity with TDD practices and writing unit tests.
• Practical experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Proficiency with version control systems such as Git.
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
• A proactive, self-motivated attitude with a passion for continuous learning.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands-on experience in AI concepts including LLMs, prompt engineering, or traditional AI.
• Strong grasp of supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning with practical experience in key ML algorithms (e.g., regression, SVMs, neural networks, clustering). Proficient with ML frameworks like scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and XGBoost. Solid foundation in math (linear algebra, calculus, probability, statistics) and understanding of optimization and loss functions. Experience with model serving using Flask, FastAPI, or TensorFlow Serving.
• Experience with Python ML libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar.
• Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies and collaborative development workflows.

What We Offer:

• A collaborative and innovative team environment.
• Opportunities to work on AI/ML-powered products and projects.
• Ongoing learning and career development opportunities.
• A dynamic culture focused on growth, curiosity, and problem-solving.

If you're a Python developer with a strong foundation and a growing passion for machine learning, we'd love to hear from you
