Senior Machine Learning Engineer

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Deploy and manage machine learning models in production environments, ensuring smooth integration with existing systems
• Monitor model performance using established metrics (accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, etc.) and identify potential issues like performance degradation, drift, or bias
• Respond to and resolve production incidents promptly, minimizing downtime and impact on business operations
• Collaborate with stakeholders (data scientists, software engineers, operations) to diagnose and fix problems
• Develop and implement contingency plans for model failures or unexpected events
• Maintain documentation for deployed models, including deployment logs, monitoring dashboards, and troubleshooting procedures
• Ensure model compatibility with new software versions and infrastructure changes.
• Optimize model resource utilization (memory, CPU) to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
• Archive and manage different model versions for auditability and rollback capabilities.
• Analyze logs, error messages, and other data to diagnose model issues.
• Utilize debugging tools and techniques specific to machine learning (profiling, feature importance analysis, anomaly detection).
• Reproduce and isolate issues in test environments before fixing them in production.
• Document bug fixes and lessons learned to improve future model development and maintenance.
• Analyze monitoring data proactively to identify trends and potential issues before they impact production.
• Stay up-to-date on new monitoring tools and techniques for machine learning systems.
• Report on model performance and health to stakeholders regularly.
• Stay up-to-date on advances in machine learning and best practices for production usage.
• Contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing within the team.
