This role focuses on designing, deploying, and maintaining ML models and infrastructure, collaborating closely with Data Engineers and Data Scientists.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable and production-ready ML pipelines to support AI-driven localization workflows.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business needs and translate them into ML solutions.
• Train, evaluate, and fine-tune models for NLP, Computer Vision, and other ML use cases.
• Deploy and monitor ML models in different environments, ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Develop preprocessing pipelines tailored to ML/DL tasks by working with large structured and unstructured datasets in multiple languages.
• Leverage MLOps best practices for versioning, testing, CI/CD, and monitoring of models (e.g., MLflow, Sagemaker, or VertexAI).
• Design, develop, and maintain API REST services using languages such as Python, .NET, and/or Node.js.
• Partner with Data Engineers and Data Scientists to ensure efficient data access and optimized feature engineering processes.
• Contribute to continuous model and system improvement through experiment tracking, feedback loops, and performance analysis.
• Conduct code reviews and ensure high-quality coding standards.
• Optimize applications for maximum speed and scalability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
• Ensure adherence to ethical AI and data governance standards.

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in Machine Learning Engineering.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related discipline.
• Strong Python programming skills, with experience in ML libraries (scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face).
• Proficiency in building and deploying ML models in real-world applications.
• Familiarity with data processing frameworks (Pandas, NumPy) and orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect).
• Solid understanding of model lifecycle management and MLOps tools (e.g., MLflow, VertexAI, SageMaker, AzureML).
• Experience working with APIs, RESTful services, and microservice-based architecture.
• Knowledge of NLP and Computer vision techniques and tools for multilingual data is a strong plus.
• Experience with cloud services (AWS, Azure, or GCP) for ML/DL development and deployment.
• Experience with WebAPI and RESTful services.
• Knowledge of software engineering best practices and tools (Gitlab and Github), such as Continuous Integration and Version Control (Git).
• Oversee and contribute to the underlying infrastructure that powers ML systems (e.g, Terraform) ensuring robust, maintainable, and secure foundations for scalable deployment.
• Strong debugging skills and fluent in reading code.
• Strong problem-solving skills, and ability to communicate technical concepts clearly with stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate data insights into business impact.
