MLOps Engineer

Machine Learning Engineer

We are seeking a highly experienced Machine Learning Engineer to join our MarTech team and play a pivotal role in driving innovation within our ML ecosystem. You will be responsible for the end-to-end development, optimization, and deployment of production-ready ML models and feature engineering pipelines, with a strong emphasis on operationalizing models that power the customer experience. This role demands a strong understanding of ML engineering best practices and proven experience building scalable ML systems and feature pipelines.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning solutions and feature engineering pipelines.
• Configure, test, debug, deploy, document, and maintain ML pipelines, models and feature engineering modules while adhering to specific development best practices and quality standards.
• Work closely with data scientists, data engineers, and solution architects to develop technical design specifications for ML programs, focusing on efficient feature engineering and model deployment.
• Analyze large-scale datasets and validate the proposed ML solutions with both the architectural design and the business needs, ensuring model performance meets target metrics.
• Responsible for troubleshooting and issue analysis across the ML stack, including feature pipelines, model training, inference, and model monitoring, as well as coding, testing, and implementing model enhancements.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of supervised, unsupervised, ensemble, and deep learning algorithms to design and implement effective ML solutions, with experience in feature engineering, model evaluation, and continuous performance optimization to meet business targets.
• Implement and maintain MLOps practices including experiment tracking, model versioning, A/B testing, and automated retraining pipelines.
• Thrive in a fast-paced agile development environment, driving iterative model improvements.
• Implement and maintain data governance and model monitoring frameworks to ensure model reliability, fairness, and compliance with business standards.
• Available to support/unblock planned model deployments and retraining cycles during off hours.
• Contribute to the evolution of our ML architecture, with a focus on MLOps principles and emerging technologies for feature stores.

Additional Qualifications:

• Advanced English communication skills required
• Candidates should have hands-on experience deploying and supporting production ML systems, not only research or notebook-based development.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in Machine Learning, information technology, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of professional experience in a ML engineering capacity with focus on production ML systems.
• Good communication skill (verbal and written)
• Experienced on Agile methodology and tools (Jira, Confluence)
• Work experience in the Retail industry is a plus
