Is this job info correct?

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to design, train, and operationalize predictive and analytical ML systems at scale on a 12-month hybrid/remote contract (with option to renew).


As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will translate data strategies into production-grade predictive models. You will take complete ownership of the ML lifecycle—building automated training pipelines, engineering feature store components, and establishing continuous monitoring to prevent model drift.


Must-Haves:

  • ML Modeling & Frameworks: Predictive and analytical model design, performance tuning, hyperparameter optimization, and extensive model evaluation.
  • Pipelines & Feature Stores: End-to-end training pipeline development and feature store component creation.
  • Model Deployment & Operations: Production model deployment, model versioning, continuous monitoring, and drift detection.
  • Data Integration: Feature engineering and collaborating with data engineers to optimize datasets for training and inference.


Nice-to-Haves:

  • MLOps integration with CI/CD pipelines, automated retraining schedules, and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).
  • Hands-on experience with vector stores, GenAI applications, and RAG architectures.


Key Responsibilities

  • Build Production Models: Design, optimize, and deploy high-performance predictive ML models and scalable training pipelines.
  • Engineer Features & Datasets: Perform deep feature engineering and partner with data teams to streamline dataset preparation for training and inference.
  • Manage Model Lifecycles: Oversee versioning, deployment registries, and feature store infrastructure.
  • Monitor Performance & Drift: Establish real-time tracking dashboards, conduct performance evaluations, and manage drift detection.


Why Join Us?

  • Production Focus: Move past experimental notebooks to deploy models directly into high-impact live environments.
  • Modern ML Ecosystem: Work hands-on with dedicated feature stores, automated pipeline tooling, and modern MLOps practices.
  • Hybrid / Remote Flexibility: Enjoy strong engineering autonomy within a flexible, remote-friendly workplace
