Job Description

The ML Developer will design, build, and maintain machine learning models and data pipelines powering core business use cases. The role is hands-on with Python for model development, feature engineering, and pipeline automation, leveraging Azure ML and Azure DevOps.
Success means robust, production-grade models with proven business impact, traceable lineage, and operational excellence at scale.
Key Responsibilities Feature Engineering Model Development
  • Pipeline Translation:

    Translate model prototypes from Data Scientists into Azure ML production pipelines, including data ingestion, training, inference, and retraining.
  • Model Iteration:

    Build and iterate on ML models (forecasting / classification / regression) using modern ML frameworks (scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, PyTorch/TensorFlow).
  • Feature Pipelines:

    Develop robust feature pipelines (deterministic code, modular definitions, reusability) using Pandas and orchestrate in AML Pipelines Jobs.
  • Experimentation:

    Design experiments with proper sampling, train-test splits, cross-validation, and metrics selection (e.g., RMSE, AUC, MAPE).
  • Strategy:

    Implement model selection, champion/challenger promotion, and versioning strategies.
  • Compliance:

    Document experiment results for reproducibility and regulatory compliance.
Model Operationalization Monitoring
  • Deployment:

    Productionize models as batch or real-time endpoints via Azure ML.
  • Validation:

    Implement model validation gates (drift/shift, prediction distribution checks, champion vs. challenger results).
  • Monitoring:

    Set up model monitoring dashboards for latency, prediction freshness, data drift, and feature importance tracking.
  • CI/CD:

    Integrate model deployment/test harnesses with Azure DevOps pipelines for CI/CD.
  • APIs:

    Develop FastAPIs to invoke and consume ML models.
Data Engineering Quality
  • Data Profiling:

    Profile, clean, and transform raw data from Snowflake, SQL, and third-party sources.
  • Quality Checks:

    Implement checks for data quality (nulls, schema validation, outlier handling, time alignment, duplicate detection).
  • Automation:

    Automate feature extraction and maintain feature store consistency.
Collaboration Quality Ops
  • Alignment:

    Work with Product, Data, and QA teams to agree on model acceptance criteria and experiment reviews.
  • Observability:

    Contribute to defect taxonomy (data/model/serving), pipeline observability, and SLO dashboards.
  • Reporting:

    Publish model performance reports and SLI/SLO summaries for stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
  • 4+ years developing data-focused solutions (3+ years in ML modeling and operations).
  • Advanced proficiency in Python, including writing high-performance, optimized code for:
    • Exploratory Data Analysis (efficient pandas/NumPy usage, vectorization, memory optimization).
    • Data transformation pipelines (scalable ETL/ELT patterns, modular reusable code).
    • Model building and tuning (scikit-learn, XGBoost/LightGBM, PyTorch/TensorFlow).
    • Parallel and distributed processing (multiprocessing, joblib).
  • Understanding of model validation, drift detection, and online monitoring.
  • Experience with feature stores.
  • Bachelor or Master degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Information Technology or related field.
  • Certification in Azure Data or ML Engineer Associate is a plus.
