Wait, What Do You Do?

IDEXX's Data & AI Center of Excellence is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join our AI Enablement Team. This role focuses on engineering and development activities in partnership with the Clinical and Generative AI Team.

This is a hybrid role, requiring 2 days per week in the office.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will help design, build, and maintain the infrastructure and pipelines that enable machine learning models to be deployed, served, and monitored in production for Clinical and Generative AI solutions. You'll work at the intersection of Data Science, Machine Learning, and Software Engineering, playing a key connecting role between data scientists and the customers who rely on their work, ensuring models built by our data science teams are reliably enabled, integrated, and delivered as products.

IDEXX Data and AI Center of Excellence (COE) develops and delivers data and AI assets and solutions to enhance IDEXX products, services, internal operations, and business practices. It is a large team of talented engineers, architects, data scientists, and analysts driving cutting-edge AI innovation in veterinary care.

Machine Learning Enablement

Build and maintain scalable infrastructure and pipelines supporting model deployment and production inference (not model development itself).
Collaborate with Data Scientists and Product Teams to translate model outputs into robust, production-ready services.
Support the scalability, performance, and reliability of inference workflows.
Design and implement data pipelines that support ML enablement workflows.
Participate in code reviews to ensure quality and adherence to engineering best practices.
Apply established software design patterns; contribute to architectural discussions.
Identify and apply practical improvements to ML enablement processes.

Collaboration and Development

Contribute to an AI Development Platform that supports adoption of AI capabilities across the enterprise.
Work with Data Engineering and DevOps to build robust processing workflows and pipelines.
Partner with product management and engineering teams to identify reusable datasets, components, and infrastructure.
Balance cost, time, and technical capability when implementing solutions.

Teamwork

Collaborate with and learn from senior team members; share knowledge with peers.
Contribute to assigned workstreams to successful, timely completion.
Work independently on well-defined problems, escalating ambiguous or high-impact decisions as needed.

What You Need to Succeed…

3-5 years of experience in a machine learning engineering or related role.
Solid programming skills in Python; familiarity with additional languages a plus.
Experience building scalable data processing and ML-enabling applications.
Basic knowledge of Spark for data processing.
Understanding of sound software engineering practices, including testing and CI/CD.
Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts, with some hands-on experience supporting models in production environments.
Familiarity with ML tech stacks such as Databricks, Delta Tables, AWS (EC2, S3, SageMaker), and containerization tools like Docker.
Basic knowledge of data engineering (SQL, NoSQL, Big Data), cloud architecture, and Agile methodologies.
Good analytical and problem-solving skills, adaptable to evolving technologies.
Good communication skills to collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and stakeholders.
