We're hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to take forecasting, optimization and clustering models from research into production. You'll partner closely with data scientists to ship new models, while hardening and scaling the pipelines we already run, including consolidating several forecasting systems into a shared backend. You'll work independently on well-scoped problems and lead projects end to end, from design doc to deployment.

Your Impact

• Research to Production: Partner with the Data Science R&D team to turn prototypes into production-grade code, shaping models for deployability.

• Refactoring & Consolidation: Refactor existing pipelines and consolidate separate forecasting systems into a shared backend, validating output parity before migrating customers.

• Shared Libraries & Frameworks: Extend and optimize internal ML libraries so data scientists can build, test and deploy models quickly and consistently.

• ML Pipelines: Build automated, reproducible training, retraining and batch inference pipelines, including backtesting, hyperparameter tuning and distributed workloads.

• Reliability & Hardening: Design idempotent, retry-safe orchestration with data validation gates, graceful fallbacks and clear SLOs for freshness and on-time delivery.

• Scale & Performance: Profile and remove memory, compute and GPU bottlenecks, and tune warehouse queries and compute for cost as we scale.

• Model Lifecycle (MLOps): Own experiment tracking, the model registry, and versioning of data, features and models, with automated promotion gates, shadow runs and fast rollback.

• Feature & Data Platform: Build reusable feature pipelines with point-in-time correctness, training and inference consistency, and clear lineage.

• Observability & Model Quality: Monitor data drift, prediction drift and model accuracy, own pipeline alerting, take part in on-call and lead blameless postmortems.

• Automation & Multi-tenancy: Make pipelines configuration-driven for low-touch customer onboarding, with strict per-customer data isolation and infrastructure as code.

• Technical Excellence: Set the testing strategy for ML code, improve CI/CD, write design docs and runbooks, and mentor teammates.

Your Skills

• Strong professional experience building, hardening and operating ML systems in production.

• High proficiency in Python with rigorous testing, code review and CI/CD practices..

• Strong SQL and hands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse and dbt or a similar framework.

• Experience building reliable, idempotent batch pipelines with an orchestrator such as Prefect, Airflow or Dagster.

• Practical experience training and deploying PyTorch and gradient-boosted models (LightGBM or XGBoost), including GPU training.

• Experience with AWS, GCP or Azure hyperscalers.

• Experience with observability for data and ML systems (metrics, logging, drift detection, alerting) and participating in on-call.

• Ability to balance research support, platform work and operational priorities.

Desirable

• Experience with feature stores, data contracts or data quality frameworks (e.g., Great Expectations, dbt tests).

• Familiarity with shadow, canary and champion/challenger deployment patterns.

• Experience with multi-tenant data platforms with strict per-customer data isolation.

• Background in forecasting, supply chain, planning or analytics applications.
