W2 rate: $70-75/hour

We are hiring a Senior Data / Feature Engineer to build and scale production-grade machine learning pipelines and feature engineering systems.

You will work on a large, growing ML engineering team delivering enterprise-grade solutions through robust data and feature pipelines.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement scalable feature pipelines (batch & real-time)
• Build and maintain MLOps pipelines for model lifecycle management
• Develop complex data transformations and feature engineering logic
• Optimize pipeline performance, latency, and cost efficiency
• Ensure data quality, validation, and SLAs (freshness, accuracy, reliability)
• Collaborate with ML, platform, and engineering teams (not building models)
• Support production deployments, monitoring, and incident resolution
• Contribute to feature store frameworks and reusable architecture
• Participate in monthly release cycles (off-hours support required)

Requirements:

• 6-10 years in Data Engineering, ML Engineering, or Feature Engineering
• Proven experience building production-grade pipelines
• Advanced proficiency in Python
• Strong experience with SQL, Spark, and Hive
• Experience with MLOps pipelines, OpenShift (or Kubernetes), Git, and Linux
• Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, distributed data processing, data modeling, and performance tuning
• Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work cross-functionally

Desired skills:

• Experience with feature stores (Feast, Hopsworks, etc.)
• Exposure to ML lifecycle concepts (but not model development)
• Experience in large-scale enterprise data environments
• Experience mentoring junior engineers

Pay range: $55 - $60 per hour
