JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Machine Learning Engineer to join our growing Data Science team. You will develop and deploy cutting-edge machine learning models and advanced data analytics solutions to solve real-world problems. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams (Product, Data Platform, DevOps, Software Engineering, etc.) to extract meaningful insights from data, develop scalable machine learning solutions, and help drive data-informed decision-making.

PRIMARY ACCOUNTABILITIES

Design, develop, and deploy ML solutions ranging from traditional ML applications (classification, clustering, recommendations) to LLM-based systems, including document parsing, data extraction, RAG pipelines, and LLM agents.
Write clean, maintainable, production-quality Python code that integrates smoothly with existing engineering and deployment infrastructure.
Work with large datasets to clean, preprocess, and analyze data, ensuring data quality and integrity.
Implement and optimize algorithms using best practices in machine learning, deep learning, and statistical analysis.
Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver data-driven solutions that provide actionable insights.
Develop and maintain scalable pipelines and infrastructure for data processing and model training, versioning, deployment, and monitoring.
Evaluate the performance of machine learning models, including LLM-specific evaluation approaches, and tune models for optimal performance.
Communicate findings, insights, and model performance to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Continuously stay updated on the latest trends, technologies, and best practices

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES

Minimum Required Qualifications
