Right now, we are looking for a highly motivated Associate Machine Learning Engineer to help power our Data Science department. You will be responsible for assisting in the process of scaling, deploying, and maintaining our advanced machine learning models. This role is the critical bridge between data science research and production-grade software. You will work on architecting and implementing big data solutions, support data and model governance, and apply software development best practices to machine learning systems.

Associate Machine Learning Engineers collaborate directly with Business, Product, Data Engineering, Data Science, and QA team members to productize AI/ML research and drive business growth. Output from this role will be leveraged by business, engineers, and by senior executives to define the future of Cadent.

Responsibilities

• Assist in Deploying, Maintaining, and Scaling Production ML Models: Work with data scientists to adapt, containerize, and deploy model prototypes. You will help build and manage the CI/CD pipelines that automate model training, evaluation, and deployment, ensuring they are robust and efficient.
• Contribute to Cloud and Big Data Infrastructure: Help build and maintain the cloud infrastructure (GCP) needed to process data and serve models at scale. You will use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools and cloud SDKs to manage resources in a repeatable and secure way.
• Support Model and Data Governance: Assist in implementing and monitoring the frameworks that ensure our models are performant, stable, and transparent. You will help track model metrics and contribute to the documentation of our data pipelines and ML systems.
• Apply Software Engineering Best Practices: Write clean, testable, and maintainable code. You will participate in code reviews and apply best practices for version control (Git), testing, and verification to the machine learning lifecycle.
• Drive Impact Through Collaboration: Work closely with data scientists, data engineers, DevOps, CloudOps, NetOps, SRE, and FinOps to ensure models are successful, reliable, and cost-effective when integrated into our business software products.

• Strong proficiency in Python and a solid understanding of object-oriented programming. Experience with SQL for querying and manipulating data.
• Experience with a major cloud platform (AWS/GCP) is required. Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform) or cloud SDKs (e.g. Google Cloud Client Libraries) is a strong plus.
• A solid understanding of the end-to-end machine learning process, from data preparation and model training to evaluation and deployment. Practical experience with ML frameworks like scikit-learn or PyTorch is preferred.Knowledge of version control (Git), containerization (Docker), and CI/CD concepts.
• A passion for technology and a desire to learn. The ideal candidate is someone who seeks to understand how things work, takes ownership of their tasks, and is eager to grow their skills in MLOps / ML Engineering, cloud computing, and software engineering.
• The ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders and to collaborate with a diverse team of engineers and scientists.
