Overview:
We are seeking an ML Engineer who can build the training and inference infrastructure that makes machine learning models production-ready. This is a hands-on ML engineering role with a strong emphasis on Python, PyTorch, ML pipelines, experiment tracking, benchmarking, and model deployment. You will work across training workflows, inference services, model evaluation, packaging, deployment, and ranking/triage systems that determine when AI can handle a task autonomously versus when it should be routed to a human operator. The ideal candidate is not simply focused on training models—they understand how to build reliable ML systems, establish performance gates, and move models from prototype through production.
Requirements:
- Must have demonstrated experience building ML pipelines, including training workflows, experiment tracking, model evaluation, benchmarking, or deployment infrastructure.
- Must have hands-on PyTorch experience, including the ability to demonstrate practical coding and ML implementation skills.
- Must have demonstrated production ML system experience, including deploying, monitoring, maintaining, or operating models in production environments.
- Strong understanding of machine learning fundamentals, including model development, training, evaluation, performance measurement, and common ML approaches.
- Must have a strong software engineering foundation, with approximately 5+ years of software engineering experience and meaningful hands-on ML engineering experience.
- Proven ability to take ML capabilities from 0?1 prototyping through production hardening, including testing, performance gates, packaging, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
- Experience with ranking, retrieval, categorization, or triage models, particularly systems that determine how work is routed between AI systems and human operators.
- Demonstrated breadth across ML infrastructure, pipelines, evaluation, deployment, and software engineering rather than specialization in only one narrow ML area.
- Experience with healthcare data including clinical documentation, medical coding, claims, or revenue cycle management (RCM) is strongly preferred.
- Experience with retrieval systems, search, embeddings, model fine-tuning, distillation, reward modeling, or ML evaluation frameworks is preferred.
