Principal Machine Learning Engineer

About the role

Implements machine learning (ML) model serving for production. Ensures the readiness of machine learning models for deployment in production. Automates machine learning workflows. Creates infrastructure and frameworks to monitor the performance of machine learning models in deployment. Evaluates potential data quality, security, and/or privacy issues and their impacts on modeling. Provides troubleshooting and debugging support. Addresses issues in machine learning serving infrastructure and workflows. Collaborates with stakeholders to integrate machine learning models into new or extant systems. Develops, maintains, and refines tools, platforms, and services for internal use. Develops efficient, bug-free code from scratch. Maintains familiarity with current developments in the machine learning field and integrates knowledge into model development.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Key Responsibilities

Machine Learning and Data Modeling – Model Productionization:

–         Utilizes machine learning (ML) and software development knowledge to implement ML model serving for production.

–         Collaborates with multiple stakeholders, such as Development Leads, Product Management, Operations, and Release Management, to make, adopt, and communicate technical decisions, and shape the development and delivery of software.

Model serving Development and Deployment – Model Deployment:

–         Ensures ML model serving readiness for deployment by scaling models, cleaning model code, and ensuring production quality standards are met.

–         Automates model serving workflows, from data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) to model deployment and monitoring, to establish the continuous integration and continuous delivery of machine learning solutions.

Model Development and Deployment – Model Serving Performance:

–         Creates infrastructure and frameworks to monitor the performance and alignment with design criteria of trained models and/or systems.

–         Proactively monitors the performance of deployed models and troubleshoots independently or in collaboration with Data Science.

–         Develops novel metrics that provide analytical insights to non-technical stakeholders on how well machine learning models are operating.

Internal Collaborations and Impacts – Model Integration and Operation:

–         Collaborates with multiple stakeholders (e.g., data scientists, software developers) to integrate open source models into new or existing systems.

–         Understands operational considerations of model deployment (e.g., performance, scalability, stability, maintenance).

–         Provides expert troubleshooting and debugging support, addresses issues in machine learning engineering infrastructure and workflow, and creates robust solutions to prevent future problems.
