What is a Machine Learning Testing job?

A Machine Learning Testing job involves evaluating and validating machine learning models to ensure they function correctly, efficiently, and ethically. This includes testing for accuracy, reliability, bias, and performance under different conditions. Professionals in this role employ techniques such as unit testing, integration testing, data validation, and model performance monitoring. They also work closely with data scientists and engineers to debug issues and improve model robustness. The goal is to ensure that machine learning systems perform as expected and meet business or regulatory requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Machine Learning Testing position, and why are they important?

To excel in Machine Learning Testing, you need a solid understanding of machine learning concepts, data analysis, and programming skills in languages like Python, as well as a background in quality assurance or software testing. Familiarity with frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, automated testing tools, and relevant certifications like ISTQB are highly beneficial. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills help testers identify issues and collaborate with data scientists and developers. These competencies are essential to ensure the reliability, fairness, and accuracy of machine learning models deployed in production environments.

What are the typical challenges faced by professionals in Machine Learning Testing roles?

Professionals in Machine Learning Testing often encounter challenges such as dealing with non-deterministic model outputs, insufficient or imbalanced datasets, and unclear or evolving testing criteria. They may need to work closely with data scientists and engineers to develop robust test cases and validation methods tailored for dynamic machine learning systems. Staying updated on advancements in testing methodologies and tools is also important, as the field evolves rapidly. Successfully overcoming these challenges leads to higher quality models and more reliable AI solutions for end users.

Job description

Applied Machine Learning Engineer

Chicago, IL; Remote

How You'll Make an Impact

As an Applied Machine Learning Engineer, you will collaborate with architects, data scientists, agentic AI developers, platform engineers, and the product team to build advanced AI and ML capabilities into our platform. Your work will drive innovation in generative AI and beyond, integrating and customizing a wide range of machine learning techniques to solve complex problems in healthcare. By developing next-generation AI agents, algorithms, and computation engines, you will help Strata strengthen its market leadership, improve operational efficiency, and support healthcare providers in delivering high-quality care while maintaining financial health.

A Day in the Life

  • Read and translate the latest research (e.g., arXiv papers) into production-ready solutions in Python.
  • Prototype and iterate on machine learning models, focusing on areas such as regression, causal inference, optimization, and vector embeddings.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to embed ML and AI capabilities directly into our software platform.
  • Partner with data scientists to design experiments and apply statistical concepts to real-world data.
  • Optimize, test, and scale ML models to support mission-critical healthcare analytics.

Our Technology Stack

  • Languages & Libraries: Python, PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, Polars, PyMC

  • Infrastructure: AWS, Snowflake, Docker, GitHub

  • Techniques & Tools:

    • Regression (with and without Bayesian priors)

    • Vector embeddings, similarity, clustering

    • Core statistics and distributions for EDA

    • Optimization methods (multi-armed bandit, mixed integer programming)

    • Causal inference and probabilistic modeling

What We're Looking For

  • Strong experience implementing ML models in Python.

  • Familiarity with regression, embeddings, causal inference, and optimization techniques.

  • Experience applying statistical methods to exploratory data analysis.

  • Comfort working with modern ML libraries and frameworks.

Bonus points if you have worked with:

  • NLP tasks (LLMs, spaCy, neural networks).

  • Recommender systems, latent factors, matrix factorization.

  • Graph algorithms.

  • Claude Code, Docker, and GitHub.

Estimated Salary Range: $117,000-150,000

Actual salary will be determined based on factors including, but not limited to, skill set and level of experience. This salary range is a good faith estimate of base pay.
