Description

Hi, I am Gabriel, the Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Musora Media and we are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our team.

Ready to build cutting-edge recommendation systems and work with deep learning architectures that make a real impact? This role is all about developing, deploying, and maintaining high-performance ML models that drive innovation.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

Model Development & Deployment

• Design, train, and evaluate machine learning models for a variety of applications, with a focus on recommendation systems and deep learning architectures.
• Package models for deployment using scalable, reproducible, and maintainable practices (e.g., ML pipelines, containerization).
• Leverage frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn to build performant solutions.
• Collaborate with product teams to translate business goals into machine learning solutions.

ML Ops and Infrastructure

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for ML models, including monitoring, versioning, and rollback strategies.
• Use cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) to build and scale ML infrastructure.
• Integrate models into production services and monitor real-world performance, reliability, and drift.

Data Engineering and Experimentation

• Collaborate with data engineers to access, clean, and transform data for ML use cases.
• Design and implement A/B tests and other evaluation strategies to measure model impact.
• Contribute to internal tooling for reproducibility, tracking, and experiment management.

Collaboration and Continuous Learning

• Work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, analysts, and software engineers to deliver data-driven features and products.
• Stay current with advancements in ML and AI, bringing innovative ideas and techniques to the team.
• Participate in peer reviews, knowledge-sharing sessions, and planning meetings.

A cover letter is not required to apply for this role, but it's a great way to showcase your passion and unique qualifications. While we'll consider all applications, a well-written cover letter can help you stand out. If you'd like to include one, we'd love to read it!

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• 3+ years of professional experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or Data Scientist in an industry setting.
• Proven experience delivering machine learning models into production environments at scale.
• Candidates are preferred to have an MSc. in Computing Science or a closely related discipline (e.g. statistics).
• Strong programming skills in Python, including experience with ML libraries.
• Familiarity with recommender systems, collaborative filtering, and content-based methods.
• Deep understanding of machine learning principles, model evaluation, and statistical techniques.
• A strong mathematical and statistical foundation relevant to Machine Learning (e.g. linear algebra, calculus, probability).
• Experience with MLOps tools and best practices (e.g., MLflow, SageMaker, Kubeflow, Vertex AI).
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) for deploying and managing ML workloads.
• Experience with SQL; bonus if familiar with Snowflake.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A self-starter who is comfortable working in a fast-paced, agile environment.
