Type: Remote, Full-time
Role Overview
We’re hiring a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to architect, build, and deploy high-performance machine learning systems that power technology stack. You will work across the entire ML lifecycle—from processing massive volumes of data to developing and deploying low-latency models.
You must possess a strong hybrid skill set: deep expertise in applied machine learning combined with production-grade software engineering skills. You will not just build models in notebooks; you will write scalable, production-ready code, design real-time inference APIs, and ensure your systems meet strict latency and high-throughput requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Scale Data Engineering & Feature Pipelines

• Process and extract features from massive, highly sparse datasets (terabytes/petabytes of bidstream and user event data) using SQL, Python, and distributed computing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Ray).

• Architect offline and online feature pipelines. Manage real-time feature computation and low-latency feature stores ensuring zero online/offline skew.

• Perform rigorous missingness analysis, leakage checks, and handle high-cardinality categorical variables safely.

Core ML & Deep Learning Development

• Train, tune, and scale supervised learning models, utilizing advanced gradient boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM, CatBoost) and Factorization Machines.

• Design and implement Deep Learning architectures for structured/recommendation data using PyTorch or TensorFlow.

• Apply rigorous tabular modeling practices: meticulous leakage prevention, class imbalance strategies, and robust cross-validation on time-split data.

Productionization, MLOps, & System Engineering

• Write clean, object-oriented, and modular production code. Transition models from Python research environments to high-performance serving environments (packaging with ONNX, TensorRT, etc).

• Design and maintain robust MLOps pipelines: automated model retraining, versioning, shadow deployments, and CI/CD for machine learning.

• Monitor production models for data drift, concept drift, and performance degradation in real-time, implementing automated alerting and fallback mechanisms.

Evaluation & Experimentation

• Design rigorous A/B and multivariate tests to measure the true business incrementality of ML models.

• Choose appropriate offline metrics (PR-AUC, normalized Entropy/LogLoss, Calibration, Lift) and bridge them to online business KPIs.

Success in This Role Looks Like

• You deliver models that perform well and move business metrics (revenue lift, cost reduction, risk reduction, improved forecast accuracy, operational efficiency).

• Your work is reproducible and production-aware: clear data lineage, robust evaluation, and a credible path to deployment/monitoring.

• Stakeholders trust your judgment in selecting methods and communicating uncertainty honestly.

Required Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or Software Engineer focusing on ML systems, ideally within Ad Tech, MarTech, or high-scale recommendation systems.

• Production Engineering Skills: Strong software engineering fundamentals (OOP, data structures, algorithm design). Expert-level Python and strong proficiency in a compiled or high-performance language (e.g., C++, Java, Scala, Go, or Rust).

• ML Systems & Serving: Deep experience deploying machine learning models into highly concurrent, low-latency production environments (APIs, microservices, Triton Inference Server, custom containers).

• Distributed Computing: Hands-on experience with big data processing (Apache Spark, Kafka, Flink) and complex SQL queries.

• Core ML & Deep Learning: Proven track record of shipping both tree-based models and neural networks (PyTorch/TensorFlow) to production.

• Statistics & Experimentation: Solid grasp of statistics, hypothesis testing, and rigorous A/B experiment design.

Nice-to-Have
· Agentic / GenAI Development: Experience designing agentic workflows or utilizing LLMs to automate ad creative generation, campaign copilot tools, or internal ML development workflows (AI-assisted IDEs, code agents).
