Machine Learning Engineer

About Us Stateside is a minority-owned, California, Small-Business Certified creative & technical digital agency that provides efficient, scalable production services or teams through co-location of resources in the U.S. and LATAM. Job Description This is a remote position. We are looking for a highly skilled Machine Learning Engineer to join our AI and data science team. In this role, you will design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and pipelines that power critical data-driven solutions across our organization. You’ll collaborate with data scientists, software engineers, and product teams to deliver intelligent systems at scale. Responsibilities Design and implement machine learning models for classification, regression, recommendation, NLP, or time-series forecasting tasks. Develop, test, and maintain scalable ML pipelines for training, validation, and inference. Collaborate with data engineers to build efficient data ingestion and feature extraction systems. Optimize model performance using techniques like hyperparameter tuning, cross-validation, and regularization. Deploy models to production using MLOps practices with tools like MLflow, TFX, or SageMaker. Monitor and maintain the health of deployed models, updating them as needed. Document ML experiments, metrics, and decisions. Work closely with cross-functional teams to identify machine learning opportunities and define technical solutions. Requirements Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or related field (Ph.D. a plus). 3–5+ years of hands-on experience building machine learning models in production. Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch. Experience with ML pipeline tools (e.g., Airflow, Kubeflow, MLflow). Familiarity with cloud services (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and model deployment. Solid understanding of statistics, data structures, and algorithms. Experience with version control (Git), containerization (Docker), and CI/CD for ML. Preferred Qualifications Experience with NLP or computer vision projects. Familiarity with big data tools (e.g., Spark, Hadoop). Experience using GPU-accelerated training environments.
