Descripción del puesto:

Purpose & Overall Relevance for the Organization

A Machine Learning Engineer applies foundational knowledge of the end-to-end Model Development Lifecycle (MDLC), software engineering, cloud technologies, and modern AI methodologies to help build, deploy, and scale machine learning solutions. They collaborate with cross-functional teams to transform proofs-of-concept into reliable and scalable production systems - with growing focus on Generative AI and agentic AI frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

Machine Learning Engineering

* Support the design and development of ML components for data and ML infrastructure (data pipelines, feature stores, model training/inference services)

* Assist in implementing end-to-end ML pipelines (MLOps), including data ingestion, feature engineering, training, deployment, and model monitoring

* Work with data scientists to productionize models and ensure business value is consistently delivered

* Contribute to model observability - logging, drift tracking, performance dashboards

GenAI & Agentic AI

* Use LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, and vector stores to enable intelligent applications

* Build small-scale AI agents using frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalent

* Experiment with responsible and explainable use of foundation models to solve clear business problems

Analytics

* Assist in applying machine learning techniques with guidance from senior engineers or data scientists.Perform exploratory data analysis and support feature selection and data preparation

* Use unsupervised learning when appropriate for early insights or pattern discovery

Data Management & Engineering

* Support creation, improvement, and validation of curated datasets for ML applications

* Contribute to data quality checks, schema design, and efficient feature retrieval

* Follow best practices for security, accessibility, and ethical use of data.

Programming / Software Development

* Write clean, reliable, well-tested code (primarily in Python)

* Implement and maintain CI/CD workflows for ML components with supervision

* Deploy ML workloads on cloud or on-prem environments using modern tooling.

Visualization & Storytelling

* Build automated dashboards to support model/data health visibility

* Communicate insights clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Testing & Reliability

* Contribute to writing unit, integration, and regression tests for ML components

* Monitor test outcomes and support issue resolution.

Education & Experience - Minimum Qualifications

* 1+ years experience in a Machine Learning, Data Engineering, or AI-focused software engineering role (internships and academic projects count)

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field (Master's not required)

* Solid understanding of Python, data structures, and basic software engineering practices

* Familiarity with:

* ML frameworks: scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch

* GenAI / Agentic frameworks: LangChain, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face, vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone)

* MLOps concepts: model packaging, CI/CD, containerization (Docker), REST/Batch inference

* Some exposure (academic or project-based) to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and distributed data tools (Spark, Kafka) is a plus

* Interest in modern AI topics such as prompt engineering, embeddings, and responsible AI.

Soft Skills

* Clear and concise verbal and written communication (English)

* Collaborative mindset and willingness to learn from peers

* Ability to break down complex problems and take initiative on tasks

* Resilient, detail-oriented, and passionate about emerging AI technologies.
