Job description

We are seeking a Senior ML Engineer with strong data engineering foundations and deep experience building MLready data pipelines within a Medallion Architecture. This role will lead technical initiatives, shape the ML and data engineering strategy, and help build a modern data platform that powers advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and enterprisescale machine learning.

You will design and implement scalable ML pipelines, ensure highquality data flows from ingestion to the Gold Layer, and collaborate across teams to deliver intelligent, datadriven solutions.

Key Responsibilities: Lead the development and maturity of the Modern ML & Data Platform.

Architect and maintain endtoend ML pipelines, including data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, deployment, and monitoring.

Design and operationalize Bronze Silver Gold data flows that support ML workloads and enterprise analytics.

Build and maintain the Enterprise Feature Store and MLready Gold Layer datasets.

Translate business requirements into scalable ML and data engineering solutions.

Implement robust ETL/ELT processes, data acquisition strategies, and automated workflows.

Collaborate with data engineering, analytics, and product teams to ensure ML solutions meet business needs.

Mentor team members and enforce engineering best practices, coding standards, and model governance.

Ensure data governance, security, lineage, and performance optimization across ML and data pipelines.

Support the development of dashboards and semantic models that surface ML insights and operational metrics.

Dimensions Required: Selfstarter

Requirements

5 7 years of handson ML engineering and data engineering experience, including building and hydrating curated data models and leading technical teams.

Proven ability to design MLready data architectures and establish engineering standards, coding practices, and scalable workflows.
