Job Description

We re looking for a seasoned

Staff MLE

to shape and scale the backbone of our production ML ecosystem. In this role, you will architect high-performing ML systems that power our geospatial intelligence platform, transforming large-scale ellite and aerial imagery into actionable insights. You ll lead end-to-end ownership from model deployment and MLOps to infrastructure design while partnering closely with data science, platform engineering, and product teams to deliver reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient ML solutions. If you thrive at the intersection of deep technical expertise, system design, and cross-functional collaboration, this role is for you.
How youll make an impact:

ML System Architecture & Production Deployment

  • Design, build, and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines for batch processing of ellite and aerial imagery
  • Deploy and scale ML models in production on AWS infrastructure, leveraging services like SageMaker, Bedrock,or custom-built solutions
  • Implement MLflow for experiment tracking, model versioning, and model registry management
  • Architect batch inference systems optimized for throughput and cost-efficiency
  • Work with geospatial data formats and coordinate reference systems
  • Collaborate with data scientists to transition models from research to production
  • Partner with platform engineering to build scalable compute, GPU clusters, and storage layers

    ML Operations & Reliability

  • Implement comprehensive model itoring systems to track performance degradation and data drift
  • Design and execute canary deployments and A/B testing frameworks for safe model rollouts
  • Build active learning pipelines to continuously improve model performance with minimal labeling effort
  • Establish model evaluation frameworks and performance bench king processes
  • Create alerting and observability systems for production ML workloads

Technical Leadership

  • Mentor ML engineers and data scientists on best practices for production ML
  • Drive technical ision-making on ML infrastructure and tooling
  • Collaborate with platform and data engineering teams to optimize the ML stack
  • Establish engineering standards and contribute to architectural roadmaps

    What we re looking for:

  • 5+ years of experience in machine learning engineering with 2+ years in a senior or lead capacity
  • Proven track record deploying and maintaining ML systems in production using AWS services (SageMaker,Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3, etc.)
  • Strong hands-on experience with tools like MLflow, WandB, or similar for experiment tracking and model management
  • Deep expertise in image segmentation and computer vision techniques using frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Production experience with ensemble models (xgboost, lightgbm, RF)

ML Operations Expertise

  • Experience implementing model itoring, drift detection, and alerting systems
  • Hands-on experience with canary deployments, A/B testing and Shadow deployments for ML models
  • Knowledge of active learning strategies and human-in-the-loop ML systems
  • Strong understanding of model evaluation metrics, bias detection, and performance analysis

Technical Skills

  • Expert-level Python programming with ML libraries (scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow, NumPy, pandas, etc)
  • Experience with distributed batch processing frameworks (Airflow, Step Functions, Argo Workflows, Spark,Dask, Ray or similar)
  • Proficiency with AWS ML ecosystem and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
  • Hands-on experience with dataset versioning tools such as DVC, LakeFS, Delta Lake, Quilt, or Pachyderm
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals: unit/integration testing, CI/CD, version control, observability, designpatterns
  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) for model deployment
  • Good to have experience with ML Orchestration tools like Kubeflow, Vertex AI, etc
  • Nice to have experience with GPUs: scheduling GPU jobs, optimizing GPU performance, memory profiling
