Job Description
We are seeking a business-oriented Machine Learning Engineer with strong fundamentals in classical ML and modern AI, including Generative AI. This role focuses on applying AI to real-world business problems, particularly in time series, tabular, and document-based data.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working autonomously, collaborating across international teams, and translating complex analytical findings into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities- Analyze complex datasets (time series, tabular, numerical, and temporal data) to identify patterns, trends, anomalies, and outliers
- Design, build, evaluate, and explain ML models aligned to real business use cases
- Break down ambiguous or complex business problems into solvable ML tasks
- Interpret model results, analyze errors, and connect outcomes back to business impact
- Communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders and ask the right follow-up questions
- Propose and iterate on AI-driven solutions based on data insights
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional and international teams in English
- Strong fundamentals in machine learning concepts
- Hands-on experience with deep learning / neural networks and modern AI approaches
- Solid understanding of model evaluation, limitations, and trade-offs
- Ability to explain models and results in simple, intuitive terms
- Experience with Explainable AI (XAI) concepts and techniques
- Strong judgment on when Generative AI adds value—and when it does not
- Understanding of agentic AI concepts (design-level grasp is sufficient)
- Time series and temporal data analysis
- Numerical and high-dimensional tabular datasets
- Anomaly detection, trend modeling, and outlier identification
- Applying ML outputs directly to business decision-making
- Python (practical proficiency; perfection not required)
- PyTorch (preferred over Tensor Flow)
- scikit-learn, XGBoost, pandas
- Experience with Python ML libraries in time series and tabular contexts
- Deployment experience on Azure or a comparable cloud platform
