Your MissionAs an RL focused Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you'll know how to engineer beautiful code in Python and take pride in what you produce. You'll be an advocate of high-quality engineering and best-practice in production software as well as rapid prototypes.
Whilst the position is a hands-on technical role, we'd be particularly interested to find candidates with a desire to lead projects and take an active role in leading client discussions. Your responsibilities will involve building trusted relationships with prospects, finding creative ways to use machine learning to solve problems, scoping projects, and overseeing the delivery of these engagements.
To be successful, you will need strong ML & Data Science fundamentals with a focus on using and implementing Reinforcement learning on real-world applications. You will know the right tools and approach for an RL or ML use case. You'll be comfortable with model optimization and deployment tools and practices. Furthermore, you'll also need excellent communication and consulting skills, with the desire to meet real business needs and deliver innovative solutions using AI & Cloud.
What You’ll DoDevelop Solutions with Reinforcement Learning at a large scale.
Design and deploy RL solutions from data selection, model training, to productionization.
Translate Requirements: Interpret vague requirements and develop models to solve real-world problems.
Data Science: Conduct ML experiments using programming languages with machine learning libraries.
Optimisation: Optimise ML/RL solutions for performance and scalability.
Custom Code: Implement tailored ML/RL code to meet specific needs.
RL Architecture Design: Create reinforcement learning architectures using Google Cloud tools and services.
(Bonus!) Data Engineering: Ensure efficient data flow between databases and backend systems.
(Bonus!) MLOps: Automate ML workflows, focusing on testing, reproducibility, and feature/metadata storage.
(Bonus!) Engineering Software for Production: Build and deploy production-grade software for machine learning and data-driven solutions.
Multiple years experience as a Machine Learning Engineer specifically using Reinforcement Learning.
Prior work on designing and implementing RL algorithms on real world projects (using non-dummy data).
Experience with data requirements for RL algorithms (quantity, type and schemas)
A strong understanding of the training procedure and timelines for RL
Experience with selecting and adapting existing RL models for novel solutions (e.g., SAC, DQN, PPO etc.)
Familiarity with developing RL algorithms using open source ML libraries (preferably python-based e.g. pytorch or tensorflow)
Ideally, experience with distributed RL libraries (e.g., Ray RLLib)
Experience with RL in conjunction with a Computer Vision application or using Computer Vision Data
Proficiency in Python as a backend language, capable of delivering production-ready code in well-tested CI/CD pipelines.
Bonus Points If You Have:
Cloud Expertise: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure.
Software Engineering: Hands-on experience with foundational software engineering practices.
ML Integration: Familiarity with exposing machine learning components through web services or wrappers (e.g., Flask in Python).
Soft Skills: Strong communication and presentation skills to effectively convey technical concepts.
Scale-up experience.
Cloud certifications (Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer, AWS Solution Architect, etc.).
