Job Description
Senior Machine Learning Engineer, AI Platform
Affinity.co
• Own the full ML lifecycle: Take projects from ideation to production, including feature engineering, model selection, deployment, and model observability and evaluation. • Translate business needs into ML solutions: Gather product requirements and translate them into robust ML system design requirements. • Build recommendation and ranking systems: Architect and launch ranking and recommendation infrastructure from scratch, initially via integrated off-the-shelf models, and evolving to targeted and customized solutions in the long term. • Solve complex problems: Work on a variety of information extraction, information storage and information retrieval problems for both structured and unstructured data. • Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with cross-functional (product, infra, data engineering, and software engineering) teams to build robust, high-scale systems that underlie all of our data processing and ML Operations.
Job Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering and/or Machine Learning experience in applying machine learning in production.
- Hands-on experience developing ranking or recommendation systems from scratch, deployed at scale using techniques such as learn-to-rank, explainable recommendations.
- Strong understanding of machine learning techniques, including clustering and decision trees.
- Experience with serving ML models for streaming and batch inference at scale.
- Experience with vector or graph databases.
- Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, Scikit-learn, or similar).
- Track record of building maintainable, testable, and production-grade codebases.
- Experience with observability tools for online and offline model evaluation, A/B testing, and tracing for AI applications.
Benefits
- Health Benefits: We cover both you and your dependents' extended health benefit premiums and offer flexible personal & sick days to support your well-being.
- Retirement Planning: We offer an RRSP plan to help you plan for your future.
- Learning & Development: We provide an annual education budget and a comprehensive L&D program.
- Wellness Support: We reimburse monthly for things like home internet, meals, and wellness memberships/equipment to support your overall health and happiness.
- Team Connection: Virtual team-building activities and socials to keep our team connected, because building strong relationships is key to success.
