Job description
Role Summary:
The Junior AI/ML Engineer contributes to the design, build, and delivery of end-to-end AI/ML solutions under the guidance of senior engineers. This role is engineering-first, applying data science and machine learning as tools within well-engineered software systems.
Engineers at this level focus on well-defined implementation tasks within a larger solution, learning the full lifecycle - design, development, validation, and production handoff - through pairing, code review, and structured mentoring.
AI & ML Development:
-
Implement ML models and components against established designs, using structured, time-series, and unstructured data
-
Run and document model validation, evaluation, and error analysis under senior guidance
-
Build familiarity with the team's AI/ML techniques and how they are applied to engineering, quality, and product use cases
Software & Systems Engineering:
-
Contribute production-quality code to AI systems, including:
-
Data pipelines and feature engineering
-
Model training and inference services
-
Components of agentic solutions combining LLM and other systems
-
Write clean, maintainable, and testable code (primarily Python), responding constructively to code review
-
Use the team's shared AI/ML components and engineering frameworks
Delivery & Execution:
-
Deliver well-scoped implementation tasks reliably, escalating blockers early
-
Participate in requirement clarification and solution iteration with the team
-
Support preparation of solutions for operationalization in partnership with MLOps teams
Growth Expectations:
-
Progress toward independent ownership of implementation tasks end-to-end
-
Develop breadth across data, modeling, and software concerns
-
Actively seek and apply feedback from senior engineers
Basic Qualifications:
-
Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field
-
A minimum of 1 year of experience
-
Solid software engineering fundamentals
-
Exposure to machine learning through coursework, internships, or projects
-
Proficiency in Python; familiarity with common ML libraries
-
Willingness to work across data, modeling, and software concerns
Preferred Qualifications:
-
Internship or project experience deploying ML in real systems
-
Exposure to cloud-based data or ML platforms
-
Interest in LLM-based and agentic solutions
-
Familiarity with software delivery practices (version control, CI, testing)
