Job Description

Senior AI / ML Engineer at Pythian, responsible for AI/ML solution design and deployment. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize AI models and pipelines in client-focused projects.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain high-performance AI and machine learning pipelines for complex internal and client-driven projects.
  • Deploy, manage, and scale diverse AI models, including pre-trained models (e.g., LLMs, vision models) and custom ML models, into production environments.
  • Collaborate with data scientists and researchers to operationalize models, transforming prototypes into resilient, production-grade AI systems that meet stringent business requirements.
  • Optimize model performance, latency, and cost-efficiency across various cloud and edge deployment targets.
  • Integrate AI/ML solutions with major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and leverage containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) for consistent deployment.
  • Implement comprehensive MLOps practices, including automated testing, continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) for models, model versioning, monitoring, and proactive maintenance systems.
  • Work closely with software engineering teams to ensure seamless and ethical integration of AI capabilities into larger applications and user workflows.
  • Stay up to date with the latest advancements in AI/ML research, Generative AI, data engineering, and MLOps deployment strategies.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, or a related quantitative field. Ph.D. is a plus.
  • 5 to 7 years of progressive experience in machine learning engineering, software development with an ML/AI focus, or a related role.
  • Expert programming skills in Python and proficiency in ML/AI frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.
  • Demonstrable, hands-on experience in deploying and fine-tuning advanced pre-trained models, such as Large Language Models (LLMs) or similar Generative AI technologies, into low-latency production environments.
  • Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Solid understanding of Data Engineering principles, ETL/ELT processes, and version control systems (e.g., Git).
  • Proven experience in orchestrating complex Machine Learning pipelines using open-source tools like Kubeflow, MLflow, or managed cloud services.
  • Experience in building and optimizing scalable, distributed AI/ML systems.
  • Deep familiarity with MLOps best practices, including model monitoring, logging, explainability, and CI/CD pipelines for AI assets.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams including solution architects, data scientists, and business stakeholders.

Benefits:

  • Competitive total rewards package
  • Blog during work hours; take a day off and volunteer for your favorite charity.
  • Flexibly work remotely from your home, there’s no daily travel requirement to an office!
  • Hone your skills or learn new ones with our substantial training allowance; participate in professional development days, attend training, become certified, whatever you like!
  • We give you all the equipment you need to work from home including a laptop with your choice of OS, and an annual budget to personalize your work environment!
