Description : Role Overview :
We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to design, build, and deploy scalable predictive models and ML pipelines. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience with classical ML algorithms, end-to-end model development, and strong Python programming skills.
Key Responsibilities :
- Develop and optimise predictive ML models using classical algorithms such as XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, and LightGBM.
- Build and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines from data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model training to validation and deployment.
- Apply probabilistic modelling and forecasting techniques (e.g., MCMC, Bayesian models) where relevant.
- Write efficient, reusable, and well-documented Python code for data processing, model integration, and business rule automation.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into ML solutions.
- Communicate analytical insights through clear visualisations and presentations tailored for non-technical stakeholders.
- Participate in client discussions, requirement gathering, and delivery reviews.
Required Skills & Qualifications :
Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or related field.3 to 8 years of experience in applied ML and predictive modelling.Proficiency in Python, NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and ML libraries like XGBoost or LightGBM.Experience in building end-to-end ML pipelines and deploying models in production.Solid understanding of data preprocessing, validation, and feature engineering.Strong analytical thinking and communication skills for stakeholder interaction.Exposure to probabilistic modelling, Bayesian inference, or time-series forecasting.Experience with MLOps tools such as MLflow, Airflow, or Docker / Kubernetes.(ref : hirist.tech)
