ML Ops EngineerVerified as a real position
- Posted
Who we’re looking for
- Strong foundation in machine learning, statistics and experiment design.
- Experience building models for real business or product problems, not only academic benchmarks.
- Comfortable working with structured and unstructured data: feature engineering, dataset construction, labeling quality, leakage checks, and train/validation/test discipline.
- Able to compare approaches with clear metrics, error analysis, and sound judgment about tradeoffs (accuracy, latency, cost, maintainability).
- Interest in modern ML, including classical ML, deep learning, and LLM / GenAI workflows where relevant (fine-tuning, RAG, evaluation, prompt/versioning).
- Proficient in Python and able to write clean, modular, testable code.
- Experience developing and deploying ML solutions in a cloud environment, especially AWS.
- Independent engineer who can own work from problem framing → experimentation → implementation → rollout.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Clear communicator who can explain methods, results, and limitations to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Master’s degree in Science or Engineering (Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, or similar), or equivalent practical experience.
What you’ll do
- design, build, and improve machine learning solutions in a dynamic cloud environment, primarily on AWS
- exploring data, developing models, running rigorous experiments, and bringing the best approaches into production with a reliable, reproducible workflow
- moving from prototype to production: packaging models, building inference paths, monitoring performance, and iterating after launch
- owning work from problem framing → experimentation → implementation → rollout
