About the role:
We’re looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to build, deploy, and scale ML models that directly impact product and business outcomes. You’ll work closely with product, backend, and data teams to turn real-world problems into production-ready ML solutions.This is a hands-on role where experimentation, ownership, and shipping matter more than academic perfection.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience building end-to-end ML systems, deploying models to production, creating AI workflows, and improving the reliability, observability, and performance of AI-powered products.
We know great software engineers come from diverse backgrounds so no single individual may have all the desired skills on day one. But if you are the kind of software engineer who would have loved to engineer solutions for Stripe or Twilio APIs, or the Slack or Zendesk app, or the Snowflake or MongoDB platform - we want to talk to you.
You have:
8+ years of experience in Machine Learning.
Proficient in one of the programming languages either Go or Python
Design, develop, and deploy production ML models and AI services.
Build end-to-end ML pipelines for data ingestion, feature engineering, training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
Having experience in implementing AI-driven software systems with a focus on NLP, NER.
Hands-on experience with Python and ML libraries (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn).
Experience with:
Experience with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch
Deep understanding of SOTA ML model architectures, especially language models
Understanding of data pipelines, feature stores, and model lifecycle
Experience in performance engineering: developing high-throughput, low-latency systems
Experience with continuous integration, writing testable code, and test-driven development
Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, scalability, and distributed systems
Privacy, authorization/authentication engineering is a huge plus.
Good to have:
Experience with NLP, recommendation systems, or computer vision
Exposure to MLOps tools (MLflow, Airflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI)
Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)
You will:
Design, build, train, and deploy machine learning models for production use
Build end-to-end ML pipelines: data ingestion, feature engineering, training, evaluation, deployment
Experimenting with and rapid prototyping of open source ML models.
Fine tuning open source models for NLP and Vision tasks
Synthetic data generation, model validation
GPU Performance optimisation of large scale ML models, including transformers
Review data science models; refactor and optimize code; containerize; deploy; version; and monitor for quality.
Monitor, detect, and mitigate risks unique to LLMs and agentic systems.
Instrument deep observability: traces/logs/metrics, data/feature drift, model performance, safety signals, and cost tracking.
Develop templates/SDKs/CLIs, sandbox datasets, and documentation that make shipping ML the default path.
Responsible for designing and developing Privacy APIs and backend infrastructure to support large-scale data and privacy workflows
Optimize models for performance, scalability, and reliability
Contribute to performance engineering efforts and ensure low-latency and high-throughput transactions at scale.
Participate in building and implementing effective test strategies and developing software with high agility and zero downtime.
Benefits:
Work from home expense
Excellent Health Insurance Options
Very generous PTO
Flexible Hours
At Skyflow, we believe that diverse teams are the strongest teams. We invite applicants of all genders, races, ethnicities, nationalities, ages, religions, sexual orientations, disability statuses, educational experiences, family situations, and socio-economic backgrounds.
