Job description

  • Design, build, train, validate, and tune supervised machine learning classification models using structured, behavioral, and transactional data.
  • Perform hands-on data exploration, cleansing, transformation, and feature engineering to create reliable inputs for model development.
  • Develop repeatable Python-based workflows, scripts, and pipelines for dataset preparation, model training, evaluation, and scoring.
  • Evaluate model performance using appropriate classification metrics, analyze false positives and false negatives, and iterate on model quality.
  • Package and deploy machine learning models into scalable production or near-production environments in partnership with engineering teams.
  • Troubleshoot data quality, pipeline, model performance, and integration issues across all phases of development and deployment.
  • Create clear technical documentation covering data assumptions, feature logic, model design, validation results, and implementation details.
  • Collaborate with engineers, analysts, and stakeholders to ensure delivered models are technically sound, maintainable, and aligned to measurable outcomes.

Requirements

We are seeking a senior-level Machine Learning Engineer or Data Scientist to independently deliver complex classification models, from data exploration through to production implementation. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with Python, feature engineering, model training, and deployment of machine learning solutions. This person should be comfortable working with large datasets, building data pipelines, and partnering with engineering teams to integrate models into scalable production workflows., Education: A Master’s or PhD in a quantitative or technical field such as computer science, statistics, mathematics, engineering, or data science is required.
