Applied Machine Learning Engineer | Music Software (Multiple Roles open)


Role: Applied Machine Learning Engineer (Mid - Senior Opportunity) Company: Splash

Employment Type: Contract (3 months +, potential for extension) Location: Remote


We are seeking an Applied Machine Learning Engineer with a strong focus on practical solutions and software development (ability to work on both open-ended research problems and production-ready API code). In this role, you'll leverage off-the-shelf tools and custom-built ML models to solve challenges in music product development and improve manual music processes. This position is ideal for engineers with demonstrable experience building functional, production-ready models and who are passionate about user experience and Product.


Key Responsibilities:
• Design and implement ML algorithms to enhance music creation tools and solve various user problems in line with product goals.
• Identify and implement off-the-shelf ML and AI tools to solve practical problems efficiently.
• Understand the requirements of running models in production, including domain shift testing, QA, A/B testing and so on.
• Maintain production-ready code with considerations for how solutions fit the product and enhance the user experience.
• Build scalable, maintainable data pipelines to handle audio and other unstructured data.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of ML solutions into production systems.
• Evaluate, deploy, and fine-tune pre-trained models for tasks like audio analysis, melody generation, and process automation.
• Uphold ethical AI practices, ensuring fairness and responsible AI use in music-related applications.


What You Bring
• Proven software development experience, ideally in Python (other languages a plus).
• Experience implementing and deploying ML models, using PyTorch framework.
• Familiarity with AWS cloud environment for deploying and scaling ML solutions.
• Ability to preprocess and model unstructured data, especially audio.
• A strong focus on applied problem-solving, with a practical approach to integrating existing tools and systems.
• A good understanding of music, production, or audio technology processes (or a strong interest in music)
• Familiarity with GenAI architectures like transformers, LLMs, or diffusion models.
• Proactive nature, ability to creatively solve problems you face and bring new ideas to the team.
• Clear and effective communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and remotely while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.
