About the role

We file this job under ML Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

ML engineers put machine learning models into products. They write the code that trains, ships, serves and monitors models so a recommendation or prediction works for real users.

Postings ask for strong Python and software engineering, a framework such as PyTorch, cloud services, and more and more often experience with large language models.

A data scientist often works out which model to build; an ML engineer makes it run reliably in production.

  • Solve high-impact data problems, delivering business impact through data and machine learning products.

  • Prioritize and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.

Qualifications:

  • Mastery in building data products using generative AI, RLHF, and fine-tuning LLMs.

  • End-to-end experience in training, evaluating, testing, and deploying machine learning products at scale.

  • Experience in building data pipelines and driving ETL design decisions using disparate data sources.

  • Proficiency in Python, shell scripting, streaming and batch data pipelines, vector databases, DBT, BigQuery, BigTable, or equivalent, and orchestration tools.
