Project Description

You will work with senior engineers on internal classical machine learning initiatives. The role combines structured learning, practical delivery, and gradual ownership of increasingly complex tasks.

Technologies

• Python, pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, Jupyter
• SQL
• XGBoost, LightGBM
• MLflow
• FastAPI
• Git, Docker, pytest

What You'll Do

• Prepare and validate structured datasets for machine learning tasks, including cleaning, transformation, encoding, scaling, and missing-value handling;
• Conduct exploratory data analysis to identify patterns, data quality issues, and opportunities for modeling;
• Build, test, and compare ML models for tasks such as regression, classification, clustering, dimensionality reduction, and anomaly detection;
• Develop and select features with guidance from senior engineers;
• Run experiments, tune model parameters, and evaluate results using appropriate validation approaches and metrics;
• Help maintain reproducible ML pipelines, notebooks, experiment tracking, and technical documentation;
• Write and maintain automated tests for data and model-related code;
• Support the delivery of models through REST APIs or batch-processing workflows;
• Document model assumptions, results, limitations, and technical decisions;
• Work closely with senior engineers, incorporate feedback, and gradually take ownership of more complex tasks;

Job Requirements

• 1+ year of hands-on Python development experience, including experience with pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and Jupyter;
• A strong foundation in statistics, probability, and linear algebra, plus exploratory data analysis skills;
• An understanding of supervised and unsupervised learning, and practical experience with regression, classification, clustering, dimensionality reduction, and anomaly detection;
• Experience preparing structured datasets, including cleaning, transformation, encoding, scaling, and missing-value handling, plus practical feature engineering and feature-selection skills;
• An understanding of train/validation/test splits, cross-validation, data leakage, overfitting, and regularization; the ability to select appropriate evaluation metrics, compare models, and perform error analysis;
• Familiarity with hyperparameter tuning and reproducible ML pipelines;
• SQL skills for data extraction and analysis;
• The ability to expose models through REST APIs or batch-processing workflows;
• Familiarity with Git, automated testing, Docker, and basic model monitoring;
• The ability to explain model behavior, assumptions, limitations, and results;
• English at B2 level or higher;

Nice To Have

• XGBoost, time-series analysis, recommendation systems, MLflow, model interpretability, cloud services, production ML monitoring, and GenAI, LLM, RAG, prompt-engineering, or agent-development experience;
