  • Hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).
  • Familiarity with Linux/Unix environments, shell scripting, and command-line tools.
  • Exposure to containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) and orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).
  • Basic understanding of cloud computing platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) and their ML/AI services.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
  • Familiarity with MLOps concepts, tools (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow), and best practices.
  • Experience with API development and integration (e.g., REST, gRPC).
  • Knowledge of C++ for performance-critical components in ML systems.
  • Basic understanding of CUDA programming and GPU architecture for accelerating ML workloads.
  • Previous internship experience in machine learning engineering, software engineering, or a related role.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and maintain machine learning pipelines for model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Integrate machine learning models into production applications and services to ensure reliability and optimal performance.
  • Contribute to the design and development of MLOps tools and infrastructure for model versioning, management, and automation.
  • Optimize machine learning models and inference processes for speed, scalability, and resource efficiency.
  • Implement testing strategies and quality assurance measures for machine learning (ML) systems.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to the deployment and operation of machine learning models.
  • Apply software engineering best practices (e.g., version control with Git, code reviews, unit/integration testing, CI/CD) to ML projects.
  • Create and maintain clear documentation for ML system designs, deployment procedures, and operational playbooks.
  • Collaborate effectively with data scientists to understand model requirements and with software engineers to ensure seamless integration.
  • Actively participate in team meetings, technical discussions, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
