Grafton Recruitment
Italy · Full-time · Entry

We are looking for a Forward Deployed ML Engineer who’ll work directly with stakeholders to unlock data silos, build robust pipelines, and deploy ML models that solve critical business problems.

WHAT YOU WILL DO (Impact > Activity)

  • Embed & Solve: Act as the technical lead on-site with portfolio companies. You will translate vague business pains into concrete engineering solutions.
  • End-to-End Engineering: You won’t just tune hyperparameters. You will build the data ingestion pipelines (ETL/ELT), design the ontology, train the models, and deploy them into production environments.
  • Rapid Deployment: Iterate fast. We value working software over comprehensive documentation. You will ship code that impacts the P&L of the client immediately.
  • Operationalize AI: Turn raw, messy data into clean, actionable intelligence. Whether it's predictive maintenance, dynamic pricing, or supply chain optimization—you build the engine that runs it.

Must-Haves

  • 1-4 Years of Experience in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or Applied Machine Learning.
  • Engineering First: Strong proficiency in Python and SQL. You write clean, production-ready code, not just Jupyter Notebook scripts.
  • Data Fluency: Experience with data processing frameworks (Pandas, Spark) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Communication: English is our primary language. You must be able to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical CEOs.
  • Grit: You are comfortable with ambiguity. You don’t wait for a ticket to be assigned; you find the broken process and fix it.

Nice-to-Have & "The Builder" Clause:

  • Palantir Experience: Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry (Ontology, Transforms, Pipeline Builder) is a massive advantage.
  • Italian Language: Fluency in Italian is a plus for local client interaction.
  • Consulting OR Builder DNA:
  • Ideally: Previous experience in a high-paced technical consulting environment.
  • Alternative (The Hacker Path): If you lack consulting experience, you must demonstrate a "Builder Mindset". We want to see a rich GitHub profile, complex personal projects, open-source contributions, or products you built from scratch. Show us you build things that work, even without a boss telling you to.
