Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled and versatile Machine Learning Engineer who embodies the rare combination of a strong software engineer and ML exposure with experience in designing, developing, and maintaining robust, scalable, and efficient software applications using
Python,
with a strong emphasis on Object-Oriented Programming principles to manage hyperparameters, encapsulate evaluation metrics, and create controlled interfaces for model wrappers. You will be instrumental in designing, developing, deploying, and maintaining our core AI-powered products and features. This demands a blend of analytical rigor, coding prowess, architectural foresight, and a deep understanding of the entire machine learning lifecycle, from data exploration and model development to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

·
Coding:
Write clean, efficient, and well-documented Python code adhering to OOP principles (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction). Experience with
Python
and related libraries (e.g.,
TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-Learn
). They are responsible for the entire
ML pipeline
, from data ingestion and preprocessing to model training, evaluation, and deployment

·
End-to-End ML Application Development:
Design, development, and deployment of machine learning models and intelligent systems into production environments, ensuring they are robust, scalable, and performant.

· Software Design & Architecture:
Apply strong software engineering principles to design and build clean, modular, testable, and maintainable ML pipelines, APIs, and services. Contribute significantly to the architectural decisions for our ML platform and applications.

·
Data Engineering for ML:
Design and implement data pipelines for feature engineering, data transformation, and data versioning to support ML model training and inference.

· MLOps & Productionization:
Establish and implement best practices for MLOps, including CI/CD for ML, automated testing, model versioning, monitoring (performance, drift, bias), and alerting systems for production ML models.

· Performance & Scalability: Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks in ML systems. Ensure the scalability and reliability of deployed models under varying load conditions.

· Documentation:
Create clear and comprehensive documentation for ML models, pipelines, and services.

Required Qualifications:

· Education:
Master's degree in computer science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field.

· Experience:
5+
years of professional experience in Machine Learning Engineering, Software Engineering with a strong ML focus, or a similar role.

·
Must have Programming Skills:
Expert-level proficiency in
Python,
including experience with writing production-grade, clean, efficient, and well-documented code. Experience with other languages (e.g.,
Java, Go, C++
) is a plus.

·
Strong Software Engineering Fundamentals:
Deep understanding of software design patterns, data structures, algorithms, object-oriented programming, and distributed systems.

·
Good to have Machine Learning Expertise:

o Solid theoretical and practical understanding of various machine learning algorithms

o Proficiency with ML frameworks such as
PyTorch, Scikit-learn
.

o Experience with feature engineering, model evaluation metrics, and hyperparameter tuning

· Data Handling: Experience with
SQL and NoSQL
databases, data warehousing concepts, and processing large datasets.

·
Problem-Solving:
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a pragmatic approach to delivering solutions.

· Communication:
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications:

· Experience with big data technologies (e.g.,
Spark, Hadoop, Kafka
).

· Contributions to open-source projects or a strong portfolio of personal projects.
