Essential Functions

This role will be pivotal in building and scaling our data-driven products and services. You will transform raw data into actionable intelligence, develop and deploy robust machine learning models, and help establish foundational MLOps workflows on modern cloud infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable data pipelines to ingest, process, and transform large datasets (structured & unstructured).
• Develop, validate, and optimize supervised and unsupervised machine learning models leveraging Python, SQL, and modern libraries.
• Conduct feature engineering, model selection, and statistical modeling to deliver high-impact solutions.
• Build and expose model APIs or containerized workflows for seamless integration and deployment in production environments.
• Apply MLOps best practices to model versioning, testing, monitoring, and deployment.
• Work with Big Data technologies such as Databricks and Snowflake to unlock analytics at scale.
• Orchestrate complex workflows using tools like Airflow or Dagster for automation and reliability.
• Collaborate with AI teams to refine prompt engineering and leverage AI tooling for model fine-tuning and augmentation.
• Maintain familiarity with leading cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) for model training, deployment, and infrastructure management.
• Partner with product, engineering, and business teams to translate requirements into technical solutions.

• Familiarity with Big Data tools (Databricks, Snowflake, Spark).
• Experience with workflow orchestration platforms such as Airflow or Dagster.
• Understanding of cloud architecture and deployment (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Experience deploying models as APIs or containers (Docker, FastAPI, Flask).
• Familiarity with prompt engineering techniques and AI tooling for cutting-edge model development.
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
  
  

Preferred

• Experience with advanced AI tools (e.g., LLMs, vector databases).
• Exposure to data visualization tools and dashboarding.
• Knowledge of security, privacy, and compliance in ML workflows.
