This role will contribute to the development of real-time, production-grade ML systems, supporting applications that operate at scale across both edge and cloud environments. You will work across the full lifecycle of machine learning systems-from model development and training to deployment, monitoring, and optimization-while integrating these systems into robust, production-ready services.
Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain machine learning pipelines including data ingestion, model training, evaluation, and deployment
• Develop and optimize real-time or streaming data pipelines for high-throughput systems
• Deploy and support computer vision models in scalable production environments
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate ML models into distributed software systems
• Build and maintain model monitoring, evaluation, and performance optimization frameworks
• Design systems that are scalable, observable, and resilient in cloud-based environments
• Contribute to event-driven architectures and downstream data integration
• Optimize system performance across the full stack, including compute, memory, and data processing layers
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and ongoing system enhancements

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with a focus on machine learning systems or data-intensive applications
• Strong programming experience in Python, with hands-on use of ML frameworks such as PyTorch
• Experience building and deploying distributed, production ML systems
• Proven experience with real-time or streaming data pipelines
• Strong understanding of event-driven architecture and system design for scalability and reliability
• Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
• Hands-on experience deploying ML models in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, including SageMaker)
• Experience with messaging/streaming technologies such as Kafka, Kinesis, or Redis
• Familiarity with Linux/Ubuntu environments for development and deployment
• Understanding of system observability, monitoring, and performance tuning

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with computer vision models (e.g., object detection, segmentation, classification)
• Familiarity with modern CV architectures and frameworks (e.g., YOLO, SAM, VLMs or similar)
• Experience building MLOps pipelines and automating the ML lifecycle
• Experience with high-throughput or low-latency systems
• Experience handling sensitive or regulated data environments
• Additional experience with Java-based services

Technical Environment

• Languages: Python (primary), Java (preferred)
• Frameworks/Tools: PyTorch, ML frameworks
• Cloud: AWS (including SageMaker)
• Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes
• Architecture: Distributed systems, streaming pipelines, event-driven systems
• Operating Systems: Linux / Ubuntu

What Sets This Role Apart

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge machine learning and computer vision applications at scale
• Exposure to real-time systems and high-performance distributed architectures
• End-to-end ownership across ML model lifecycle and production deployment
• Collaborative environment focused on solving complex, high-impact engineering challenges

Ideal Candidate Profile

• You are a hands-on software engineer with deep interest or expertise in machine learning systems, particularly in computer vision and real-time data processing. You enjoy working at scale, solving complex technical challenges, and building production-ready ML solutions that deliver measurable impact.
