Azumo is currently looking for a highly motivated Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer to develop and enhance our data and analytics infrastructure. The position is FULLY REMOTE, based in Latin America.

This position will provide you with the opportunity to collaborate with a dynamic team and talented data scientists in the field of big data analytics and applied AI. If you have a passion for designing and implementing advanced machine learning and deep learning models, particularly in the Generative AI space, this role is perfect for you. We are seeking a skilled professional with expertise in Python for production-level projects, proficiency in machine learning and deep learning techniques such as CNNs and Transformers, and hands-on experience working with PyTorch.

We're looking for a versatile Machine Learning Engineer / Data Scientist to join our big-data analytics team. In this hybrid role you'll not only design and prototype novel ML/DL models, but also productionize them end-to-end, integrating your solutions into our data pipelines and services. You'll work closely with data engineers, software developers and product owners to ensure high-quality, scalable, maintainable systems.

Key Responsibilities

Model Development & Productionization

  • Design, train, and validate supervised and unsupervised models (e.g., anomaly detection, classification, forecasting)
  • Architect and implement deep learning solutions (CNNs, Transformers) with PyTorch
  • Develop and fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) and build LLM-driven applications
  • Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and integrate with vector databases
  • Build robust pipelines to deploy models at scale (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD)

Data Engineering & MLOps

  • Ingest, clean and transform large datasets using libraries like pandas, NumPy, and Spark
  • Automate training and serving workflows with Airflow or similar orchestration tools
  • Monitor model performance in production; iterate on drift detection and retraining strategies
  • Implement LLMOps practices for automated testing, evaluation, and monitoring of LLMs

Software Development Best Practices

  • Write production-grade Python code following SOLID principles, unit tests and code reviews
  • Collaborate in Agile (Scrum) ceremonies; track work in JIRA
  • Document architecture and workflows using PlantUML or comparable tools

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Communicate analysis, design and results clearly in English
  • Partner with DevOps, data engineering and product teams to align on requirements and SLAs
