Senior Machine Learning Engineer; Remote

Position

Purpose:

The Sr Machine Learning Engineer is responsible for joining a product team and contributing to the software design, algorithm design, and overall product lifecycle for a product that our users love. The engineering process is highly collaborative. Sr ML Engineers are expected to pair daily as they work through user stories and support products as they evolve.

ML Engineers may be involved in designing and implementing AI/ML algorithms to embed directly into software products. Activities may include using specific HD process techniques, integration, design, and development. The role could interface with Business Stakeholders, Technology Infrastructure teams, and Development teams to ensure that business requirements are properly met within a machine learning solution. The role may also be involved in performance tuning, testing, and product monitoring.

Other responsibilities may include performing customer outreach, designing ML educational material, and data engineering.

Sr ML Engineers should be able to operate independently though will typically work as part of a team with varying skill levels to create, support, and deploy production applications. This role will review submitted code and provide feedback to improve, based on best practices.
