Senior AI Machine Learning Engineer

YOUR JOB IN A NUTSHELL
As an AI Machine Learning Engineer you promote the adoption of best standards in industrial code development across the Machine Learning and AI community. You do so by developing ML pipelines that are production-ready by design or by integrating existing ML solutions into industrial pipelines.

• You facilitate the communication between Data Scientists and IT production with regards to the deployment of ML models, ensuring that models put in production are equipped with the appropriate data pipelines and monitoring.
• You work with the Data Scientists to define and develop the target solution with production constraints in mind. This allows to select the correct run infrastructure and serving model (e.g. data ingestion scheme, API synchronicity …) to address the business requirements (real-time responses, processing volumetry …).
• You contribute to the automation of the different elements of the ML pipeline in order to integrate and deploy them in the production environment (e.g. building Docker/VM images, prepare unitary, regression and integration tests …).
• You support Data Scientists on the usage of the existing industrial solutions available to build and monitor AI services (i.e. the CI/CD tools).
• You support IT Production on the parameterization of the target environment.
• You ensure that the model runs without errors, is retrained if needed (incl. automatically) and is monitored both from the IT and the business perspective.
