Job Type: Contract
Pay: $110,240.69 - $132,762.98 per year
Work Location: Hybrid remote in Mountain View, HI 9677

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Client explicitly wants Python, Java/Scala (software engineering background, not just data science).

The JD mentioned pipelines, orchestration, monitoring, CI/CD, containerization → all core MLOps responsibilities

• They want ML knowledge but not heavy research (so operationalizing models, not inventing them).

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will have a strong AI/ML background and be an integral part of a vibrant team of Data Scientists and Machine Learning engineers. You will be expected to help architect, code, optimize, and deploy Machine Learning models at scale using the latest industry tools and techniques. You will also contribute to automating, delivering, monitoring, and improving machine learning solutions. Important skills for this role include software development, systems engineering, data wrangling, feature engineering, architecture, MLOps, and testing.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

· Design and build scalable, usable, and high-performance machine learning systems.
· Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, data scientists, and engineers to understand, implement, refine, and design machine learning and other algorithms.
· Effectively communicate results to peers and leaders.
· Explore state-of-the-art technologies and apply them to deliver customer benefits.
· Discover, access, import, clean, and prepare data for machine learning.
· Work with AI scientists to create and refine features from underlying data and build pipelines to train and deploy models.
· Run regular A/B tests, gather data, perform statistical analysis, and draw conclusions on the impact of your models.
· Explore new technology shifts to determine their potential connection with desired customer benefits.
· Interact with various data sources, collaborating with peers and partners to refine features from the underlying data and build end-to-end pipelines.
· Model Productionalization: Partner with data scientists to productionalize prototype models for customer use at scale, which may involve increasing training data, automating training and prediction, and orchestrating data for continuous prediction. You will also provide metrics (like precision, recall etc.) for model comparison.
· Model Enhancement: Work on existing codebases to enhance model prediction performance or reduce training time, understanding the specifics of algorithm implementation. This can be exploratory or directed work based on data science team proposals.
· Machine Learning Tools: Develop tools to address pain points in the data science process, such as speeding up training, simplifying data processing, or improving data management tooling.
· Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server:
o Experience building and maintaining services that manage and serve the contextual information required by large models.
o Familiarity with creating and managing data pipelines for real-time and batch-based context enrichment.
o Skills in designing scalable, low-latency APIs for models to access and retrieve necessary context during inference.
· Implement robust monitoring and alerting for deployed models to ensure continuous performance and detect anomalies.
· Manage model versions, dependencies, and deployment workflows using MLOps best practices.
