About the Role
We are seeking an experienced AI/ML Engineer to help enterprise clients accelerate their adoption of advanced machine learning technologies. This role will focus on building graph-based neural network (GNN) models, generating ScaNN-based embeddings, and training scalable ML models for search, recommendation, and classification systems. You will collaborate closely with Google Cloud engineers, architects, and data scientists to deliver innovative, production-ready AI solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement Graph Neural Network (GNN) architectures for enterprise-scale applications.
- Develop and optimize vector embedding generation pipelines using ScaNN or similar ANN techniques.
- Train, fine-tune, and deploy ML/DL models using TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, or similar frameworks.
- Collaborate with data engineers and solution architects to integrate models into scalable cloud solutions.
- Perform model evaluations, A/B testing, and hyperparameter tuning for optimal performance.
- Build reusable pipelines and tools for ML training, deployment, and monitoring on GCP.
- Engage directly with customer technical teams to understand business needs and translate them into ML solutions.
- Produce technical documentation and presentations for internal and customer-facing stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Mathematics or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
- Certifications Minimum: Google Professional Data Engineer Preferred: AWS Machine Learning Specialty Certification
- 7+ years in a customer facing role working with enterprise clients
- 4+ years of experience working in enterprise data warehouse and analytics technologies Hands-on experience building and training machine learning models.
- Experience writing software in one or more languages such as Python, Scala, R, or similar with strong competencies in data structures, algorithms, and software design.
