You will design and build the infrastructure that every machine learning model at DailyPay runs on: feature engineering platform, model training and deployment, serving infrastructure, and the monitoring that keeps it all reliable in production. This is a software engineering role. You will build the platform that data scientists use to ship models, not build the models themselves. You own the infrastructure that makes their work reproducible, testable, observable, and production-safe at scale. You will work closely with data scientists, engineers, and product stakeholders to deliver high-quality ML solutions that directly impact DailyPay's core products. You are expected to operate with significant autonomy: defining work, identifying dependencies, and raising the bar for the team around you. How You Will Make an Impact * Platform Ownership: Help architect and build DailyPay's unified ML platform - a unified system for model development, deployment, and monitoring that serves as the backbone for every AI and ML capability at the company. * Systems Design & Delivery: Design and build scalable, reliable services and pipelines covering feature generation, model training, deployment, and inference. Own end-to-end delivery with minimal oversight. * Self-Service Infrastructure: Build the tooling and guardrails that let data scientists define, test, and ship features and models independently, without needing an engineer in the loop and without bypassing validation, lineage, or rollback safeguards. * Cloud Infrastructure: Manage and optimize AWS infrastructure for machine learning workloads, balancing cost-effectiveness, security, and availability. * CI/CD Pipeline Development: Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines for continuous integration and deployment of ML models and related infrastructure. * Monitoring & Observability: Design monitoring and alerting systems for ML infrastructure and models using tools like Datadog. Proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact production. * Technical Leadership: Lead design discussions, contribute to architectural decisions, and establish team norms for how ML systems are built, tested, and maintained. Help identify and remove blockers. * Mentorship: Mentor junior engineers. Share domain knowledge and help build genuine technical depth on the team. * Security & Compliance: Approach all engineering work with a security lens. Actively look for vulnerabilities in code and during peer reviews. Ensure ML pipelines handle sensitive data in accordance with company policy. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
