We are looking for a motivated Machine Learning Engineer (Python) to join our fast-moving team. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone with a solid foundation in machine learning, strong Python skills, and a desire to grow in a dynamic and often ambiguous environment. You’ll work closely with product managers, data scientists, and engineers to rapidly prototype, test, and deploy ML-driven features and pipelines.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate in an agile team to develop and deploy ML models and data pipelines.
• Translate loosely defined business or customer requirements into practical ML solutions.
• Be creative and proactive in shaping solutions that solve real-world problems.
• Build, test, and optimize scalable Python-based systems for training and inference.
• Work with structured and unstructured data (e.g., tabular, text, image).
• Participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and reviews.
• Own and maintain parts of the codebase and contribute to improving engineering best practices.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in software engineering or ML engineering roles.
• Strong Python programming skills with experience in ML frameworks like scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
• Proficiency with data handling libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy) and tools like Jupyter.
• Ability to take customer or business requirements and creatively turn them into technical solutions.
• Exposure to common ML workflows: data cleaning, feature engineering, model evaluation.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, agile environment with changing priorities and some ambiguity.
• Good communication and collaboration skills; you’re proactive and not afraid to ask questions.
• Familiarity with version control (e.g., Git) and containerization (e.g., Docker).
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and basic understanding of MLOps practices.
• Exposure to CI/CD workflows and tools like MLflow or model serving frameworks.
• Ability to build lightweight APIs (e.g., FastAPI, Flask) to expose models is a plus.

We embrace flexibility and hybrid work opportunities to support diverse needs and lifestyles, while also valuing inclusive workplace experiences. By fostering a sense of community, we drive innovation, strengthen connections, and nurture belonging. Our commitment ensures you can work in a way that suits you best, while also engaging with colleagues to share ideas and build meaningful relationships.
