The Machine Learning Engineer writes model monitoring scripts as needed, diagnoses root causes based on model monitoring alerts while triages any issues, and coordinates and plans response to model monitoring alerts and resolves issues.
Core Responsibilities
1. Develops complex data pipelines and implements data engineering design principles for iterative data pipeline development to drive scale and efficiency. Proficient in model development environments and coding best practices to enable model deployment.
2. Integrates and optimizes existing data and model pipelines in a production environment. Identifies and diagnoses data inconsistencies and errors, documents assumptions, and forages to fill data gaps. Applies knowledge of experimental methodologies, statistics, optimization, probability theory, and machine learning concepts to create self-running artificial intelligence (AI) systems to automate predictive models. Proficient in SDLC processes and related tools and technologies.
3. Partners with data science teams to review model ready dataset document/feature documentation. Develops data model design and document and reviews for completeness with data science teams.
4. Partners with data science teams to understand data requirements, performs data discovery for model development. Performs detailed analysis of raw data sources for data quality, applies business context, and model development needs. Drives efficiency through the use of data discovery tools.
5. Engages with internal stakeholders to understand and probe business processes and develop hypotheses. Brings structure to requests and translates requirements into an analytic approach. Participates in and influences ongoing business planning and departmental prioritization activities.
6. Writes model monitoring scripts as needed. Diagnoses root causes based on model monitoring alerts and triages issues. Coordinates and plans response to model monitoring alerts and resolves issues.
7. Serves as a machine learning engineering subject matter expert on cross functional teams for large strategic initiatives and contributes to the growth of the Vanguard analytic community.
8. Participates in special projects and performs other duties as assigned.
